"THE GUISE: Michael Bynum along with brothers Brook & David Finlayson will be performing live at Moon Song Songwriter's Cafe' just atop Noccalula Mountain Friday Night on June 19th. THE GUISE was the stage band for Christian Brothers Association's SKYLIGHT Coffeehouse back in the mid to late eighties. Michael, Brook, and David have reunited from time to time since those days, and are each looking forward to a night at Moon Song as THE GUISE. They'll be playing many of their old familiars as well as newer songs. Anyone who's ever heard THE GUISE play should remember the distinctive chemistry when ever they get together - a very unique sound - and always a good time for one and all.If you're an old Christian Brother from way back or have never heard THE GUISE. Do come! The session is free but encourage you to donate something to Moon Song. It's a wonderful venue - simply nothing like it anywhere in Etowah County."
I was playing with Michael Bynum as DREAMER through out the first half of the 1980's. By the later part of the eighties my brother Brook joined us and we became THE GUISE. I can't explain what happened, but when we became three - there was a chemistry. I've never been part of a group with a chemistry before. At the time THE GUISE was the Christian Brother's SKYLIGHT stage band. We played a good bit together and enjoyed every minute of it. I married Gina in 1990 and moved up to Bowling Green, KY - far away from Christian Brothers and THE GUISE.
Brook and Michael then became involved with a rock and roll worship band called PERMANENT WAVE (AKA: THE WAVE) with Nori Kelley, Debbie Handy, and Kenny Young. Boy did I feel left out while I was up in Kentucky. I looked forward to coming down during those six years I was a foreigner to reunite our vibacious trio.
Michael, Brook and I have only gotton together a few times during this new millennium. We've lead worship at the Gadsden Vineyard about three times over the course of the last nine years - every time there is chemistry - every time unique. Our get togethers are few and far between. We don't know what we are going to sing as of yet...but we can't wait!

We are the Christian version of Crosby, Still & Nash. They were always breaking up so they could get back together again. By the way, The poster of us.....We have been together so long, we are starting to look like one another. Are we an old married couple?

I ran across this old image that I used on the cover of our The Guise song book many years ago. Do you remember him?
It did cross my mind that that we were starting to get kind of crusty like the illustration. For some reason the guy fits.
