:: Together Again ::

Virgin Insanity members Bob Long, Wayne Boggs, and Jud Chapin enjoyed a mini reunion this weekend in Dallas, Texas for an impromptu photo shoot and the recording of additional material for several previously un-recorded Virgin Insanity songs.

Jud Chapin laid down drum tracks at his Dallas home, and Bob joined Wayne and his wife Wendy and daughter Emily to record backup vocals.

The new songs will be included on a special bonus CD available only with the purchase of the new Virgin Insanity CDs through P-Vine's stores in Tokoyo.

But never fear! Rumor has it that the Virgin Insanity website will have clips of all the new material in the near future.
