To the band:

I'll share with you my life's story. I'll try to be brief; growing up my parents were real strict on music. I only listened to oldies because I had little interest in gospel. Eventually I started listening to secular bands but a lot of Christian bands too. I was getting into many different styles but I quickly discovered my love for hevay music. Cutting to the chase, when I previewed Never Say Dinosaur in the Christian bookstore, Not of this World blew me away. A Christian band!? They're heavy!!! I thought it was the BEST THING. Really. I joined a music club and saw Feel the Rage, the first Galactic Cowboys disc I ever owned. My life was changed. A heavy Christian band for someone like me, it was amazing. Next I picked up Machine Fish, then Horse that Bud Bought, self titled, Space in Your Face, At the End of the Day, and finally Let it Go. My point is not that you were a great heavy Christian band but when I was still discovering music, Galactic Cowboys was with me. Always one of my favorite bands, you've been with me from my start, even though you didn't know it. And I know you don't like to be called a Christian band and to me it's inconsequential, but thanks for making great, fun music. Even if I didn't love an album at first ("It needs more heavy songs!") they all grew on me and I learned to appreciate the rock and the pop and the melody. You've left a lasting impression on me. Ever since I really got into music I can't think back to a time when Galactic Cowboys weren't there.

Thanks,

Ryan Fox
