CRIMSON GLORY - Bassist Jeff Lords Will Not Play Atlanta Tribute To Midnight
July 17, 2009, 15 years ago
Jeff Lords, original CRIMSON GLORY bassist, has issued the following statement about his non-appearance at ProgPower USA, billed as a tribute to recently departed singer Midnight:
"For reasons, some of which are beyond my control, some not, but all of which, personal, I will not be participating in the Midnight Tribute at ProgPower, and to my understanding, the guys will be using a stand-in. They have my blessing. If/when the time comes that Ben (Jackson - guitar), Jon (Drenning - guitar), and Dana (Burnell - drums) want to take the band to the next level - and by then, I'll hopefully have some issues worked out (because this is short notice) - I will become an active member/co-songwriter, once more, fully dedicated to delivering the bass lines that they and the 'Glory fans come to expect, provided they all want to keep the remaining four members intact."
