A very sad day... T.C. was one of the best producers ever!

This makes 2 persons from the Threshold family who have left us recently... first Bart Bishop, the lead singer, and chief songwriter of Providence.. . who passed away suddenly in November, and now Tony Clarke.

I guess heaven needed a great producer. Tony... RIP. You will be greatly missed!
