As it turned out, a photo I (Barb) took of Brion Gamboa back in 1992 at Bangles popped up. Martin Epp, formerly of Lioneyez, asked some questions and one thing led to another and Brion updated me on his activities since moving from Denver to Nashville.
You can watch his video on his song Soul Divide, performed by his band Breath of Ashes (BoA)
