"Vaya" was formed with my brother George in Spokane in 1982, and has appeared both in the clubs as a rock band, and in church venues as "Vaya, the YSC Choir & Orchestra".  Vaya is currently not performing, but I am regrouping with the Mending Fences Fellowship Praise and worship team, and the Choir at COG 7th day for special performances, and re-recording all the gospel material in digital format for release @ www.yahshvah.com (to be published soon.)
