I was thinking about writing the story of the legendary Quincy family Strothoff, but I decided against it because it has nothing to do with music really. However, I can mention that the Strothoff farmer recidence has allegedly been haunted for 150 years with a long history of weird deaths. Thankfully Steve made it out of there in time to make the music and is still alive today.

Nice. Any idea if Steve Tieken is related to Freddy Tieken? Same part of the country....

Apperently, he did have a son named Steve, but I think the ages are too close. Freddie was born in '35, Steve must've be born around '50.
But I'm not 100% sure. Could be, if he had him at that young age (15-17 maybe).
