Just a note- several of our readers have noticed the ad that shows at the bottom of the BCL home page that says 'Ads by Clicksor'..... we put it there, it's not a bug or virus. We have been experimenting with different types of ad formats and the clickster ads will probably not be permanent.

Editor's note- Growing up in Bates County during the early 80's meant going to every dance at the youth building when Breakaway was playing. Myself, like many others, have a lot of good memories of going to the Breakaway dances and it's great to see the band still together, sounding better than ever. Congrats on 30 years!
