So that wraps up our interview with Michael Foster. We’ve interviewed everyone in Firehouse now except C.J. Snare. Word has it that C.J. is a closet Sludgeaholic and does come to our page, but he never responded to our request to interview him. Maybe he’s embarrassed that he has a bald spot coming in on the back of his head. Who knows! But anyways, if you’d like more info on Firehouse, check out their website at www.firehousemusic.com
