Big Boy delayed     April 14, 2002

Due to issues obtaining appropriate sounds and a cab, we have unfortunately decided to delay the Big Boy, for what is hopefully a very short time. We had lined up outside sources for these elements, but they were not able to complete these important elements of the project, due to circumstances beyond their control. Therefore, we are looking at alternatives, including taking the task upon ourselves to create these pieces. As we have more information, we'll let everyone know right here. Thank you for your patience and support.
