In the same vein of my other sites, I have attempted to create a Cannon's Jug Stompers online library of sorts for those who may be interested in their music. This is my Cannon's Jug Stompers Information Clearinghouse, which attempts to link you to all things Jug Stompers online. All information on Long Time Coming: Cannon's Jug Stompers is solely for educational purposes; all copyrights remain the property of those who have registered the material. To have any offending material removed, please contact me. I am always accepting new information in any form to include on this site that isn't already available here; please contact me if you wanna help out. |

About Long Time ComingMy vision of the future for Long Time Coming is various websites devoted to their specific items of interest, ranging all across the spectrum of my interests. All in all, they will be a terrible conglomerate of all things unrelated. My next venture will be a non-musical project, but one that I would hope others might find of interest. But for you music lovers out there, I'll be back with another site devoted to a unique group. The amassing of information has already begun. It's just too bad there's no one willing to pay me good money for this kind of stuff.Interested in one of the other Long Time Coming sites? | |
