cool trivia question, however, Six, Six, Six was on an album called Communication (1984). DeGarmo and Key do not have an album called "Take The Pledge", they have album called "The Pledge" released in 1989. I know, I'm a geek!

I can attest to the fact that Dan Kulp is one of the biggest fans and supporters of Degarmo and Key in the entire Macedon/Palmyra area.
It's unbelievable how picky some of the more rabid Eddie Degarmo fans can be.
Hey Lover of Degarmo and Key,
Maybe I am a little picky, but I believe as someone who has intensely followed Eddie and Dana's careers from the beginning, I cannot help it. T
If you get the chance, check out TDP's "Hear The Silence" it is very reminiscent of Eddie Degarmo's early stuff.
BTW, "Six Six Six" is one f the best rock songs of all time!!!

Let's just be honest: I had the facts wrong, LOL, and I expect Dan to call me out on that. :)
Honest, I did a ton of research and checked in several different places! Either I read my notes wrong or my source was wrong. Or both. Likely both.

Lover of Degarmo and Key,
Why don't you just relax? Dan Kulp was just helping out. Joanne and Dan are great people. You need to take a chill pill.
BTW, Kingdom Bound Rocked! The Dig project were awesome! Delirious was awesome, Elia was awesome!!!!
the new DIG Project posters are cool! Wes the drummer signed my wallet!
Hey F.O.D.K.,
I never said Dan and Joanne weren't nice people..I have several D.I.G autographed items as well as some vintage Nobody's Fool items (Dan's original band) from the early 90's. Mr. Kulp has been extremely nice to me, especially at the Life Together Fest at Seabreeze some years ago where we talked about Motorcycles and Dana Key's songwriting. We are both huge fans, and I'm sure Mrs. Brokaw is nice as well..I don't know why you involved yourself in this as I'm sure Mr. Kulp can defend himself if he chooses to.
Why don't you hang loose and take your own chill pill yourself?, turkey. Don't bite the hand that feeds Dude.
Hey Lover of Degarmo and Key,
What does having DIG Project memorabilia have to do with anything anyways? I have my own share of DIG stuff(yes, they used to be just "DIG" before they signed with a label, which I am sure you are aware of). I also have Tocsin, Sling Shot and Jaded Thorns stuff as well, and I'm sure that you are aware that founding members of those bands were all members of Nobody's Fool at one time or another. I have DIG's first 3 song EP that almost nobody has from when they were first starting out, as well as one of the vintage orange DIG T-shirts from 2000-2001. As far as autographed DIG stuff, all I can say is "Big Deal", as the band has always been very gracious about signing stuff, so getting autographs is not a huge accomplishment. One thing that I have that I know blows away anything you may have is a Word of Mouth Records poster with not only the original 5 member's autographs, but autographs from Nelson Fischer (bass), Tom Olsen (drums), and Jay Jureweicz (drums and guitars) as well. I do not know anyone anywhere with a piece of memorabilia with both Tom's and Nelson's signature on it.
What does this all mean? Nothing.I just dont understand why you have to brag about meeting Dan Kulp.Lots of people have met him.
Take a walk, turkey, unless you are going to have something positive to say.
Look People,
this is getting out of hand. All I did was make a quick innocent correction, and now it's turning into a war of words. Enough is enough.
If you have any respect for me, Mr. Degarmo, Mr. Key and Joanne, you will
stop bickering..
I say to both of you, "At what point will you mend this legacy of arrogance?" Let it go dudes.
I think I remember you, Lover of Degarmo and Key, and you seemed pretty cool. I do like motorcycles and Dana Key's songwriting, so it is completely plausible that we discussed those things..I'm glad you enjoyed Kingdom Bound.I rode the Predator and it gave me a good case of the scares, chief!
F.O.D.K. - Thanks in advance for relaxing,bro. What will it take to get a look at that autographed poster you have? Does it have Tom Harrington's or Bryan Wegman's autograph, or both? How did you get Jay's autograph on there? I have to see it to believe it homey..

I'll sign anything. . .
Dan Kulp is a wuss. . . The Predator is lightweight
I own 3 D&K Albums and a D&K tribute album. . . And for some reason I don't have a girlfriend
Hi People!
Can't we all just get along? I just checked out The Dig Project's Myspace page. I know who Dan is obviously, and Ive seen Bill and Mike.
Who is the drummer(Wes?) and the new guitarist?
I missed Kingdom Bound this year :(
Chrissy
Chrissy,
The drummer is Wes, he was in a local band called "A Step Apart". They were a praise and worship team from Pittsford/Fairport area. I believe he joined sometime last year.He replaced Bryan, who left to join Highway Beautiful. Before that, the drummer was Tom Olsen, who replaced Tom Harrington. TDP has had a lot of drummers. Jay from Highway Beautiful also has filled in on drums and guitars on several different occasions for the band. Jay was the drummer for Jaded Thorns in the late 90's, early 2000's.
I do not know who the other new member is, except that his name is Andrew and he plays bass. Hope this helps.
I am done bickering with people...
The new guitarist is Andrew Goodnough, if that helps. I think he's a sophomore at RIT. He's a great guy!

"A Step Apart"? What kind of crappy band name is that???
It was Set Apart. . . and we were not a praise/worship team, we were a progressive rock band
Get it right, Billy
