In describing "Beg for Forgiveness," Jonathan Kissam, Big Table's guitarist, said, "That was our Jimi Hendrix meets Rush meets Red Hot Chili Peppers meets Jackson Browne."

"Meets us in a dark alley," Jake Perlman, drummer, added, "with a little Metallica thrown in."

The ghost of John Prine came to me in a dream last night and told me to write a country song about mustard

Mustard Song

I play in a "stealth band" called Secret Heliotropes. We're a stealth band because we're composed of two busy dads who don't have a lot of time to play gigs, but sometimes we record music and I post it here. I also used to play in other bands and record things on a 4-track recorder before the age of the internet; maybe I'll post some of that stuff here someday.
