Goodbye to a NOK member

Jan 25, 08

Hello everyone some new for all of our fans, we are saying goodbye to a founding member of NEXT OF KIN. Spike will be missed, but for a good cause. Over the last 7 years, He has driven over 23,421 miles, drank over 602 gallons of beer, and drank 16 1/2 gallons of shots, and only spilled 7 beer, and has used over 257 batteries, performed in over 307 shows from Buffalo to Cleveland, and has NEVER missed a gig, and has only dropped a part of his instrument 7 times and has only CUSSED once. With these many hours away from his family, that is very dear to him, and not getting to see his wife and his only son grow up right now, Spike is hanging up is drum sticks for a while, and is going to try skiing. He is going to miss all of his fans and friends he has made along the way, and he said will come out to hear us and sit in now and then. We will miss him, but are glad for him to be happy and spend the time with his family. he has been a good friend, partner, band member. We wish him all the best and great future memories of his son and family. Good luck
