Life, like music, is only meaningful when it is pursued with absolute passion. A band, like any family, must be built on commitment, not only to the goals common to the family, but to the happiness of each individual member. After much soul searching, Sammy has decided that it is time for him to pursue a passion in his life other than music, and is going to apply to medical school. So the Professor becomes the Doctor. The band gives its unequivocal support for Sammy?s decision, as we know that it is right for him at this time. So while we will miss turning around and seeing Sammy leave his heart out there every night as he bangs mercilessly on those drums, we are happy that he has made peace with what he wants from his future. We admire him for having the courage to pursue his dreams wherever that may take him, and can only hope that he brings the same dedication and pureness of vision to medicine as he has brought to the music for the last nine years.
The Biscuits will go on. We have been through tough situations before and we have always emerged with a renewed commitment to each other and the music which we make. We will continue to create inspirational, exciting and revolutionary music. Sammy will play the shows which are announced, including Amsterdam, but Hammerstein will most likely be his last show on American soil. We urge you to come out and celebrate the joy which Sammy gave all of us over the years by putting his whole being into keeping us all in time.

It really wasn\'t all that sudden, the rumors about this have been going on for a while. I am just happy to see that the band is going to go on for a long time there were rumors saying that if Sammy left that the band was going to call it quits. It sucks but maybe it will bring in a new dynamic that will make the music even better than it already is. He will be missed though.
He is/was one hell of a drummer - particularly in the jamming sections. Hope they don\'t call it quits though - SOTW is still on my list of tunes I have to hear live once. (Yeah, am very much a fan of the earlier stuff)
Thats funny, I\'ve only seen the Biscuits 6 or so times and would prefer if I don\'t hear another Story of the World again. Just doesn\'t do much for me. Then again, I\'ve yet to hear Basis for a Day or Helicopters. I\'d much rather hear an inverted Confrontation or a House Dog Party Favor instead of SOTW though. Anyone else going to the Boston show?

SOTW was the first song of an All Good show I got on mp3 in 2000 - fantastic spoken intro over it - still trying to get that one in lossless but never seen it. As for House Dawg, I agree, it\'s a good tune, though I prefer Jigsaw Earth to Confrontation (just!!)
