Artist History "From the depression era when my parents revered what was then called "The Carolina Hotel"; through my childhood memories of care-free days spent in the Village of Pinehurst; to my young adult years working for the Pinehurst Hotel, playing music in area clubs and forming friendships that last a lifetime; we now move to the present day, when my former food, beverage and music friends now own, manage or have lifelong careers in area clubs, restaurants, golf clubs, inns, shops, schools and businesses.These special people and the natives of the Village of Pinehurst and surrounding areas are very proud to finally host the U.S. Open in our home. Although we have and continue to serve the visitors to our community, we always felt it was a privilege to do so. This "special privilege" allows us to experience Pinehurst from the inside out. We personally feel we have played a big part in making Pinehurst what it is today.This song was written after much thought about our good fortune. The "blues" aspect comes from our years of waiting for this major to arrive. Thank you U5GA for finally giving us the Open. Thank you Pinehurst Inc. for allowing us to be a part of this wonderful "adventureThank you Cecil Monroe, Will McCanless and Jimmy Rives for "making beautiful music together". Thank you dear friends and family.Thank YOU, for listening. We hope you enjoy All our music!!!"-Tommy Whitesell

Press Reviews THE BAND "SkEtcHbOOk" IS AT IT AGAIN.!! IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE 1999 U S OPEN MEDIA BLITZ, THE BAND HAS ITS' FEET FIRMLY ON THE GROUND NOW. THE HIT "U S OPEN BLUES",DONE FOR THE OPEN TOURNAMENT, WAS A MAJOR SUCCESS AS A MARKETING TOOL FOR THE BAND. SkEtcHbOOk WAS SEEN AND HEARD ON A WORLDWIDE SCALE DURING THE 99' OPEN AT PINEHURST. THE BANDS FIRST VIDEO WENT WORLDWIDE ON THE GOLF CHANNEL AND OUR MATERIAL WAS AIRED NATIONALLY. DURING THE SAME WEEK, WE PERFORMED IN FRONT OF "SHANIA TWAIN" AT ALLTEL PAVILION IN RALEIGH NC. NOT BAD FOR OUR FIRST FEW GIGS!!?? THE PRESS AND EXPOSURE WE RECEIVED WAS SIMPLY OVERWHELMING. THIS HAS OPENED MANY DOORS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN CLOSED TO AN UNSIGNED, INDEPENDENT BAND. WITH ALL THIS HOOPLA IN THE PAST, THE BAND IS NOW FOCUSSED ON A NEW PROJECT AND A NEW SOUND TO BE OUT SOON. THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY(ACS) SAW WHAT HAPPENED AT THE OPEN AND PURSUED THE BAND TO DO A SONG FOR THEIR GREAT CAUSE.. WE FELT HONORED TO EVEN HAVE BEEN ASKED. NOW THIS HAS GROWN INTO A MAJOR PROJECT NATIONALLY. THE ACS HAS CHOSEN OUR SONG,"DIFFERENCE" TO BE ON THEIR COMPILATION CD TO BE RELEASED THIS JAN. YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW EXCITED WE WERE WHEN WE WERE NOTIFIED BY BMG RECORDS THAT WE WERE ON THIS CD WITH SOME BIG NAMES, SUCH AS; HUEY LEWIS & THE NEWS, JOHN DENVER, KATRINA AND THE WAVES, ROGERS & HAMMERSTEIN, TOMMY JAMES & THE SHONDELLS, BILL WITHERS, JACKIE DESHANNON,AND JOHNNY NASH. THERE WILL BE 60,000 COPIES NATIONALLY WITH THE OPTION OF 60,000 MORE!!!! WE HAVE DONE NUMEROUS TV SEGMENTS AND INTERVIEWS AND FEEL LIKE THE BEST IS YET TO COME. WE ARE SIMPLY A ROCK BAND THAT WANTS TO DO SOMETHING POSSITIVE WITH OUR MUSIC. WE HAVE SOME BIG EVENTS COMING UP SOON THAT HAVE COME FROM ALL THIS PRESS. THIS BAND HAS SOME GREAT MATERIAL THAT NEEDS TO BE HEARD, SO THIS IS PERFECT SITUATION FOR BOTH THE ACS AND SkEtcHbOOk..
