Just as we were starting to build some momentum, Alison dropped a bombshell. Quite out of the blue one Sunday she let us know she would be leaving the band. She had some commitments that were taking a lot of time. We were really disappointed because we liked her role in the band. Of course, we completely respected her decision and we were grateful she had helped keep things going through a difficult few months. I haven't seen Alison for a long time but I hope she's doing well.
