Review by David Geffen on CD Baby

*****! A mastery of lyrical artistry! Recomended to all music enthusiasts!
Reviewer: David Geffen...Geffen music corp.
myself being one of the most successful music industries C.E.O.s find this C.D. the most refreshing and heart inspired accumulation of lyrical tracks my ears have had the PRIVILLEGE to receive. I understand that the brilliant lyricist Tracy Howard has moved on to the ultimate venue (heaven) as a fitting reward to her talent. It is truely A god given talent like hers that allows for my success. Not since the late Janice Joplin have I heard honest raw vocals as Tracys nor felt heart and soul stiring words blended with equaly gifted sound as Tracy and her band have left the world to enjoy! Truely a legacy left as a testament to her life. I found myself feeling short changed that I did not know of her until she was gone. Yet I feel pleasure from the gift of her music. She will truely be missed by the living that are lucky enough to enjoy her gift!!

Another "Shoe" looses her battle with cancer, Kelly passes

I need to let you know that my friend Kelly Jordan, our bass player from March of 2003 through December 2006, died Monday evening (2/12) at approximately 9:30 PM. Kebra and I were lucky enough to be with her, along with her husband, mother-in-law, and both sisters-in-law.

She had been battling breast cancer since February 2004, but played with the band through all of her chemo and radiation. This past December Kelly decided to leave the band to devote more energy to fighting her cancer. We all hoped that she would beat it, but, at the age of 45, she lost her battle and TMS lost another family member.

There will be a memorial service on Saturday 2/17 at 3:00 PM in the Hogan Baptist Church, located at 8045 Hogan Road (corner of Parental Home Road off of Beach Blvd.).

Kelly's husband, Mike, would prefer that instead of flowers that you make a donation to the Donna Hicken Foundation in Kelly's name.

Please come to the Memorial Service and share stories of this wonderful woman's life.
