Today is the end of an era for us pandas. Sadly we had to part ways with
our bass player Keith Olsen who left for personal reasons. He will be
really truly missed by all of us.
However, today is also the start of a new era- Hot Panda is pleased, very
pleased, actually, to welcome Catherine Hiltz into the fold- a new Panda!
You may have seen Catherine playing trumpets with us at various shows
around Canada- well, now she's our bass player!
The future is wide open!
until next time,
