12 - edited by Mike Whitaker - the founding member, songwriter, and co-lyricist on "Lifeblood" "Dead End" & "Brood of Vipers" also part of last line up and reunion shows. I'm embarrassed to have to add myself into this page, but also shocked that who wrote it didn't include me. I'm also proud of what the guys did without any of my help on the album "The Undisputed Truth" that was above and beyond my talent level and my favorite of all Seventh Star's releases!
