CD RELEASE PARTY - NEW RECORDING "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO"

UPDATE: On Thursday, Anthony's son was hit by a tractor trailer while crossing a busy street in Burlington, VT. Todd was pinned under the truck for 25 minutes in the freezing cold. First responders did an outstanding job and he is in recovery but it is very serious.
