Just got unconfirmed word from an email that Sumner Crane of Mars died last week of lymphoma. Anybody have any idea if it's true? If it is, it makes me very sad.

very very very sad. I always thought that if I could find a bunch of likeminded people to start a band, the kind of band I'd _really_ like to sound like would be some combination of Mars, Eggs and Sun City Girls...

This is sad news. One of the most incredible vocal performances EVAH is Sumner's on 'Helen Fordsdale' it never fails to give me goosebumps.

Douglas, do you mean the Eggs that recorded for Teenbeat?
