I created a band called Lactose Factory back in the mid to late 90's. We went our seperate ways shortly there after because of health issues and other contractual obligations. We tried doing stuff via internet but unfortunately the technology hadn't gone that far yet where sending a 34 - 68mb part through phone lines was as easy as it is these days. Today the band is back together with a few new faces to kick out the jams so to speak. Sometimes we get together to play but much of it is done via the internet as many of the guys in the band are still involved and have contractual agreements and are on the road often.  When ever the sax player is on the road, I have special guests and get featured .  I will do the lead on guitar when others are unavailable.
