Naming The Band "generation":
Many names were taken into consideration such as bringing back "Kidd Sundown" from a previous band.  Other options were names like:  Free Drinks Tomorrow, Kidd Generation.  But in the end we wanted to have a name that wrapped it all up.  We are a group with a wide age group and the music we play covers many generations.  So there it was "generation".
