We toast the memory of our good friend and bandmate , Mike “MadDog” Pierce who died reciently after a battle with cancer. Since Mike was not what you call a “sentimental guy” it is important that we follow his wishes and “celebrate“ his life with some good music, dancing and maybe a few shots thrown in.

While we will miss his meandering bass lines and dry wit, Mike’s efforts as our manager will live on - our music is now being played on NPR and community stations in the US and Canada and even around the world. And now our music and album is available on line and in stores around the country – thanks to MadDog. Thanks also to you out there for your continuing support.

Que la vaya bien amigo!

"This is Scott, Mikes future son-in-law. Meeting you guys was a very positive thing. I'll be back. I love Ajijc. You are more than a Band you are family. Can't wait till we have some time together! "

"In a better place is Michael Pierce of The Tallboys 3/13/10. A Veteran, Bass player, Father and Friend . I am a better man for knowing him and going through this with his family. He was strong through it all. Brenda Max Shannon and Raegan I love you."

"Dear Band & Family, saddens me to hear of Mike's passing. I went to school with Mike as did many of the HP crew. I will post this on FB to let folks know. I believe he had a special gift and I know he was loved and respected among his friends and associates. Do not worry, I know where ever he is, he is cutting us a deal, as we speak."

"PS no kidding, he is getting us a group rate on what ever we will need!! Rock on...Mad Dog!"

"So Sorry to hear of Mikes passing, he was a great guy....we come down from Canada for the winter..and ran into him most days when out for our walks along the Carretera. Sweet man....please give our love to Brenda."
