To our dearest friends and fans, We are heartbroken to announce the sudden passing of our lead singer, Curt Martin. Curt was fatally injured in a tragic accident Sunday, Feb. 22, on his way home from our final show. Curt was an incredible musician and entertainer. He loved his music, the band and you - the fans. He was our best friend and our brother. We have lost so greatly that words cannot describe. In our hearts, in our minds Curt is always with us. Visit the previous 3SD web site.

Wednesday, February 22, 2006Curty, Its been two very long years and I still cant believe you arent around to brighten up my days. You are, were, and always will be a great friend and inspiration to me and so many others. I feel so lucky to have been blessed with our friendship. I will never let your memory or spirit fade from my mind and heart, and I will cherish our memories and fun times forever. You were a true gift to everyone. I love you always! April Crawford -(A.C.) |

Wednesday, February 22, 2006Curt.... I heard a song you used to sing to me on the radio this morning. Made me smile. :) Hello to you, too. :) We still miss you and think of you all the time. Shine on! |
|
Tuesday, February 21, 2006I wonder sometimes if you ever really knew how many people really enjoyed your music and seeing you,Michael and Zack preform. It's amazing how many people still remember you guys and what awesome talent you guys had. I wish more people could at least get a chance to hear some of the great songs you guys created. No band from Tulsa that I can remember has ever come close to having what 3SD had. I'm glad I got to be a part of it. We miss you and 3SD |

|
Tuesday, October 4, 2005hey Curt!! i just wish there was some way to bring you back, you were such an amazing person. I still think of you often.. me and you just sitting at your apartment... the night we met at your show. I actually couldn't believe you came up to me... what fun, i could admire you up close instead from afar! Anyway, we had lots of fun together... i wish we still could. Remember when we would just lay together on the couch and watch whatever was on TV, and how your cat was always up to something?! ha! GOsh, i miss you. |
|
Tuesday, September 27, 2005Curt. I love you and still miss you everyday. I made up a dance to 'seams' this summer. I know you are enjoying it from up there. Please come and visit my dreams again soon! I miss your sweet face and gentle heart. When Michael and I hear a song you guys used to play on the radio, we know its you saying hi....God you are so missed---Alycia |
|
Monday, August 29, 2005Curt lives!! Inside my heart! |
|
Friday, August 26, 2005Curt was my cousin by marriage but a cousin anyway. I remember when I got the call that he had passed. That memory will never be erased in my mind. I live out of state and could not make the funeral but all the same he was and is with me every day. I listen to his and the band's CD all the time and have exposed everyone i know on the east coast to this wonderful music. Curt; I love you and I will always miss you. Ashley |
|
Wednesday, August 24, 2005Curt time passes and the memories still remain in heart & mind. When I am not up to speed thinking of your smile alway's takes me to a place where I can laugh and remember the best of all that was and how friendship's can never be forgotten because after all the what if's you are still alive in my heart... (Ace Eversole) |
|
Monday, August 15, 2005hey curt! still miss you! i just want you to know that you will forever be missed in the hearts of many! sending you my love! |
|
Sunday, August 14, 2005Curt still think of you from time to time. I wish things had gone better for you the last year you were with us. The band had composed some really great songs. In time I know you all would have made it big. I think of you every time I listen to one of 3SD's songs. You are a great frend and I hope to see you again someday. |
|
Saturday, July 16, 2005Michael... My mom told me about this site, so I came to visit it... and the past half hour has been extremely moving for me... I'm so sorry that you lost your dear friend... reading these entries shows what an exceptional and genuine person your friend was... what an angel Curt must have been on earth... to have touched so many people and made such a positive impact on so many lives... what a blessing. -Toni- |

Friday, July 1, 2005It’s comments like these that always kept our band going. It was the comforting feeling of looking into the crowd and seeing familiar faces of friends we loved. We always said the best thing to ever come out of 3SD was the ever-growing circle of friends. It’s amazing the amount of lifetime friends we discovered through 3SD and I’m so proud to know each one of you. I’m so proud that Curt had such an affect on so many of you. I thank each and every one of you for that support and friendship. As I look back on those years I have zero regrets and wish I could have continued to make more memories. Memories with you, and especially with Curt. I wonder what he would be up to now, if he would be doing a solo act, if would still be dying his hair to cover the gray, if he would still be sleeping until 2:00 in the afternoon, if he would have ever done the dishes in his apartment, so on & so on…. I hope I can raise my son to have half the heart Curt had …..if so then the world will be a better place. I miss all of you who read this and look forward to seeing you again. – God Bless M.Grim |
|
Sunday, June 12, 2005I still think about you every day. I wish I could see and hear you sing again. 3SD was the best. I miss those days. I wish you were here to see...to touch...to feel...to hear... |
|
Tuesday, June 7, 2005Been thinking about you alot lately and remembering what a blessing you were to me and every life you touched. I am still grasping a hold of the memories of the way you walked, the way you laughed, and the way your voice changed when you were trying to be serious. I never want to forget... I got to hang out with old friends and hear songs that you performed recently. Brought back so many memories, memories that I treasure. It was the best birthday, but still wasn't the same without you. Hope you really were there. I wanted you to know that I got engaged. I know you always liked J. You were just always protective of me. Thank God you were. *I love my rockstar.* Me... |
|
Sunday, May 8, 2005I am writng a story about December 2003 and something that happened to me. But during this story I talk a little about New Years Eve, which was the last time you and I hung out -- multiple shots of Jager in in the hotel room before your show. Well, long story short... I missed you and wanted to stop by and say hello. |
|
Friday, May 6, 2005hey curty- i've been missing u ALOT lately. Im sure its not healthy...but im afraid "healing" will cause me to lose all the wonderful memories i hold so dear of our times together. i miss u so much. i do the most ridiculous things still, like pick up the phone to call and almost walk up to people that i think, for an instance, could be u. went to cheddars with the fam and actually thought i saw u...then- like always, im hit with a gut wrenching pain of knowing that its not you....again. they say that "grieving is a process consisting of 7 steps blahblahblahblah!*^&%@$" and " time heals blahblahblah!&#@!" yeah- we'll see. remember how much i LOVED "walking shoes" (when you guys were Touch)? Ha! well i still do and always will. just like how you always had my back and i had yours, you will forever be my gaurdian angel and i cant wait to see you again to tell you thanks for always fighting for me in life and death. all my love! april crawford- a.c. dimmitjam@yahoo.com |

Wednesday, April 20, 2005Curt - Life just seems to be passing by so fast and somedays it seems like I haven't see you in forever and other days I feel like you might just drop by like you used to do every few weeks. I think of you at the weirdest times and I still see you in my dreams. Do you still come back to this house? Even though your old room is lavender now and full of "My Little Ponies" and plastic dinosaurs, I still think of you often when I'm in there with Mariah. Mariah has a fear of cars, and tells everyone who will listen that you MUST be careful in the street because her friend Curt wasn't careful and now he's gone. Oh Curt, I never thought I'd miss you like this. Andy and I talk and cry about you often. I hope you knew how much we loved and cared about you when you were still here. We will never forgive ourselves for missing your last show. We were so busy and wrapped up with the kids these last few years, it was hard to go out and see you guys play. Anyway, you have been heavy on my mind lately. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Drop by anytime. Brandi. |

Tuesday, February 22, 2005Curty- A while ago i found the "good-bye letter" i wrote shortly after you were taken from us. Promised myself I would post it today, the 1 year anniversary.so, here it is- 03/03/04 To My Most Cherished Friend Curty- The permanence of your absence seems to creep into reality. My heart weeps and cries out for answers while I drift along this numbing existance. I can feel you with me, still watching over me like you always have. You have always said that you will fight for me when i need you. You said that we could do anything with the other at our side. Now I'M the one all alone in agony every single minute of each day. Sometimes its too much to bear yet still i feel your closeness and i'm able to make it to the next day. Everyone has a destiny to find a person, one who knows the other as well as them self. Our friendship, you, that was our destiny and I will cherish it always. Your fate was unknown to all, and we shall weep oceans of loving tears until we meet again. I thank God for you and the "gift" of guidance you left behind for me. I am forever thankful for the eternal love of our friendship and my beloved best friend, who now, i'm sure is my Gaurdian Angel. All My Love Forever! ******April Leigh Crawford****** p.s. yeah, im 12 min late. sorry, somethings never change.haha |
|
Tuesday, February 22, 2005Thank you Curt for showing me what true kindness and compassion is. You blessed so many people in the short amount of time we got to spend with you. You had such a passion for life and music. You continue to inspire me and give me hope that things will get better. I miss you....A forever fan, Tracy Burk. |

Tuesday, February 22, 2005Happy Birthday Curt. This morning I walked out to my car to go to work, and on the driveway was a copy of the Feb. edition of the GTR Newspaper. It was just perfectly folded so the only headline I could see was "Strange Days". It was in big bold letters, face up, exactly 1 year from "the bad day". I like to think it was your way of telling me that everything is okay and you are with your mom in Heaven. And if thats not what you meant then uhh...just let me keep on believing it :) Thanks Curt, for everything you have ever done. I miss you and will always have a place in my heart for you. Michael "Everyman is lost without you". - Curt Martin (Everyman) |
|
Tuesday, February 22, 2005I think of you every day, my darling. I can still hear your laughter and see your sweet face in my memories. May you never take that away from me. I can't believe a year has passed without you. I hope you have finally found your peace. Much love to my rock star! -S |
|
Monday, February 21, 2005Still missin you man. Going out with Jeff and Lee tonight. We'll throw a few down in your honor. See you there. |
|
Saturday, February 19, 2005I think about you every day. It's still hard to believe you're gone. It's just not the same without you and I don't think it ever will be. It just doesn't feel right, it's hard to describe this feeling, but it is so real. I don't think it will ever go away. Peace be with you now and forever... |
|
Friday, February 11, 2005Morning, Curt. It's coming up on your anniversary of leaving us... I'm still crushed. But at least I can think about the good times we had without crying now. Now it's just a special place in my heart that I can smile on. Still miss you, and I always will. Our own little rock star. :) |
|
Wednesday, February 9, 2005Miss you bro. I'm so thankful for this site and I'm sure you are too. I'd love to get together with anyone that would like to hear me tell stories about you all night. Next weekend or the one after or both or whatever. Anyone interested shoot me an email SuperAndo@Hotmail.com or call my cell: 698-8388 |

|
Friday, January 14, 2005well i managed to get through our birthdays without too much chaos. people usually forget our birthdays anyway, right? haha! (that or they try to pull the ole' double gift trick xmas/bday). i went to the spot..... yeah, i know VERY bad idea. i will never ever, for as long as i live, have another friendship like ours. i miss u and love u every second of each day. sometimes i feel just how real this is, and its like someone punches me in the gut as hard as they can. damn, im so pissed off at u!!! but i guess this is how a true rockstar would do it, right? how f*&cking poetic! ok, im done for now. i love u always! a.c. dimmitjam@yahoo.com |

Tuesday, January 11, 2005I can't say that I was a long-time friend of Curt, but the times I was honored to hear him sing and 3SD play I felt like I had met one of the nicest guys on earth. Not a single day has gone by that I don't think of him and his bandmates. Curt and Michael talked to me and a few of my friends that I persuaded to go to the 3SD shows with me whenever I got the chance. He was also very sweet. I still listen to their cd's and treasure the fact that I'm still able to enjoy a little part of such a profound individual and musician anytime I'm having a bad day and need to hear something soothing and uplifting. I miss him dearly and my thoughts and prayers are always with his friends and family. It was truly a blessing to have met Curt and I will never forget him. A forever fan, Tracy Burk Also, I noticed on one of the comments posted that there is a DVD. If anyone can tell me how to get one I would greatly appreciate it. Please e-mail me at traceroo22@hotmail .com. Thanks.... |

Monday, January 10, 2005does it ever get easier? i know you are always watching over all of your friends (more than friends, u will always be family to all of us), but every single day i feel u with me. i feel your essence and friendship always. thank u for looking out for me and all of the blessings that u (obviously) had a part in (hes perfect :)-) Im thankful that we havent had ice and snow this winter, dont think i could handle it with out u. miss you and love u always Curty. dimmitjam@yahoo.com a.c. -april crawford |

Monday, January 3, 2005I saw a show on OETA CH.11 yesterday (1/2/05 5 pm) about music and Oklahoma and Curt was one of the featured artists in the program. I have tried to contact OETA to no avail and I was hoping some one got a tape of it or if someone knows how to get a copy. Curt was so excited to be talking about music he looked like he was about to pop from all the emotion. His words were at times profound and at times silly! It really was great to see him as he really was. I cannot put into words how much Curt changed me for the better but I think he did that for everyone he met. I know everyone who comes here can understand how I feel about Curt could change you in an instant by a smile, a goofy impersonation or of course a beautiful song! Please email me or leave a message here if anyone else saw the show or if you know how I can get a copy. onephishtwophish@hotmail.com ~Megan Seery-Orchard |

Thursday, November 25, 2004well curty, it was bound to happen. the "man" finally got fed up with my 3 hr lunch breaks at work. yup-fired. oh well, zoning out and thinking of you for hours was better than that b.s. desk job anyway. problem is- i find myself with entirely too much idle time on my hands. im sorry. i should be able to do this without you here, but it seems to get harder each day. today is Thanksgiving, and we all will miss you at the table. last 4th of july we sat on the swing watching my parents and family chat. we were amazed how not-exciting it was. you caught me in a blank stare and said "like watching paint dry, isnt it?". well, its not looking like this is gonna be much different. wish you were here. i love you and miss you dearly. you are my best friend forever. -a.c. |
|
Thursday, November 18, 2004Amen--we love you Mike and Alycia! Its great to have you two...three..back in town. Hug Evan for me. I am going to be moving to Colorado to go to school and i am sad that i have not been able to see all you 3StrangeDays fans more. You are all welcome to stay with me and Liz if you are ever in the area. I hope this finds everyone doing well and keep in touch. janis770@yahoo.com. much love-Rachel |

Monday, November 15, 2004Thank God we have Michael and Alycia back in Tulsa. It is so good to have them home! Brings back memories...xoxo |

Sunday, October 31, 2004Happy Halloween Curt! I miss you so much that words can't describe. Tonight I watched the Tribute and I remember those wonderful moments of 3SD onstage at VooDoo. I loved being there with you guys. It has taken me sometime to watch it. I told Alycia a couple of weeks ago that I hadn't the courage just yet to watch it. The holidays are nearing now and it is going to be hard not seeing your devilish smile looking back at me from across the dinner table. Patty always cooks the best food! I know that you'll be there with us, you are always at our family gatherings! I want to thank you for the talks that we shared when Gavin & I were going through the toughest time of our lives. Your love, understanding and ability to make the worst seem not so bad was our greatest gift! I love you and miss you dearly. Love, Kim |

Friday, October 29, 2004I'm not able to pull up the website for the pics. Is there something wrong with the site.~C |

Friday, October 29, 2004Curts music will never be forgotten. As soon as I get some free time I will try and make some songs available for download that never made it on our CD. I have lots of Curts vocals on the bands computer and would love to share them with everyone.Michael G. P.S. There are some great pictures of Curt on www.mandyanders.com |
|
Thursday, October 28, 2004Happy Halloween, Curt. :) We miss you! |

Sunday, October 10, 2004Please don't let Curt's music be forgotten. |

Monday, September 27, 2004We are noticing you my friend. Mariah named her new kitty "Maggie". Are there dogs in heaven?We found a piece of the old CDs you broke up for your cool stage prop you made, it was deep in the ground and Mariah was digging in the dirt. She didn't understand why it made me laugh and cry all at the same time. After all, it was only a piece of plastic in the dirt. Memories of you pop up at the most unexpected moments. When they do I feel a real pain shoot through me as I realize you're gone. Sometimes I cry for you but with a smile on my face. I am missing you today. |
|
Monday, September 20, 2004I was one of the first people to receive the 3SD dvds and boy was I impressed. You have no idea how much time and effort went into the making of this dvd and it was all worth it for the love of a wonderful man. Curt Martin, I hardly knew you but feel as if I did after seeing the dvd. You're voice is amazing, your smile endearing and you'll forever be in the hearts of many. Your music still rocks my hearts beat.-KLB |
|
Friday, September 17, 2004There were 25 DVD mades at first and then 30 more about a month ago. I am currently all out, however, in about three weeks I will have a whole new batch. pzo1974@yahoo.comPhil |

Thursday, September 16, 2004Curt was like a brother to me for many years. We went to high school together for a short while in Sapulpa. When his mother passed away, I was touched that he called me. I never knew until that moment that he too thought of me as family. After college, we eventually lost touch. But one lucky night for me in January of 2001, we were brought back together. Curt was looking for a place to stay since his current roommates were having a baby. I had just had a spare room come available. He was my roommate for about 15 months. It was so wonderful to reconnect with my brother after all the lost years. We will all always love him dearly and miss him until our hearts ache. You're definitely missed my dear Curt. By the way, Mattie & Max miss you too.Jenny Bennett |
|
Thursday, September 16, 2004I just wanted to say thank you to our friend Phil for putting together an amazing tribute DVD of Curt. I dont know how many are left but if anyone is interested email michael@3strangedays.com and I will try and help you get one. Thanks again Phil.michael |

Wednesday, September 15, 2004Hi Curt. sorry it's taken so long for me to come back to visit. although you know i say hi to you every morning when i look at your pictures. i can't help but see your face at least once a week on a passing stranger. i tried going to listen to a live band play once, well i broke down and had to leave no one could ever play and sing to us as good as you did. you touched our minds, hearts, and soul. i do remember the great times we had together, just hanging out at your apartment spraying Spaz with the water just b/c it was fun. i will never forget the awesome time we had at the Dave Matthews concert... we sang, danced and had the time of our lives, even in all the rush and excitement of it all you said "will you marry me?" i told you that i would tomorrow, and tomorrow never came. i blew it off as if you were joking... were you? and what i wouldn't give to go back and make tomorrow happen. i wish that i didn't hurt you when i left for NSU last fall and the whole situation surrounding it, looking back i should have had your baby. i am forever sorry. i wish i could take it all back. You lit up every room you walked in to, you always made me and everyone around you feel special and wanted. i still can't believe your gone, i wish you could come back.. what i wouldn't give you have you back here with us. i miss you. you will be forever loved and never forgotten.~ Amanda |
|
Friday, September 3, 2004I just got to watch the tribute DVD the other day (thanks to all who helped make that happen!)~ that was such a great way to document his fun-loving side. He really was such a beautiful person. Michael, my heart went out to you when you spoke at the end... it was just a perfect way to keep the memories alive.I will always love that smirk, those sparkling mischevious eyes, those fabulous dance moves! ha!:) Though we will never physically have him back, he will always be jammin with us all ~ watching out for those he loved and forever making us smile. We love you, Curt... J |

Monday, August 30, 2004sittin here and "magic carpet ride" came on the radio...thinking of you now and always...smiling.Rachel |
|
Friday, August 27, 2004Today I think of you Curt. My daughters should have known you. You were always so great with Mariah. She remembers you still, but that will inevitably fade. I still use the tricks you showed me on how to make kids laugh. A little thing you always did making a low-pitched noise when reaching out to them and then making a high-pitched noise at the point of contact. It still works everytime. I miss you so much. |
|
Tuesday, August 17, 2004I am still so sad and shocked that our beautiful Curt is not with us anymore. I long for the days we used to laugh together but most of all I miss all our big plans to see all the shows we could. I am soon going to see Sting and I know Curt would have been there with me. He truly was my sacred love and I will always love him. He's my angel now and I feel his presence everyday I watch the sun set and every morning I watch it rise. I miss you Curt. May God's ears be blessed with your beautiful voice and infectious charisma.MO |

Tuesday, August 17, 2004i miss u so much curty. i dont know how a person is supposed to live a normal life when part of their heart is suddenly gone. our friendship will always be a part of who i am and who i will become. u saved my life june 2nd, 2003 and i wish with all of my heart and soul that i could have somehow done the same for u on feb 21, 2004.All my love- a.c. |
|
Sunday, August 15, 20046 days away from the 6 month "anniversary", and still i cry like it was yesterday. that song "learning to fly" by pink floyd has always reminded me of our midnight trips to random places, and it still reminds me of u. but now i hear it and think of how you are learning to fly. i swear, im going crazy- i miss u more than i've ever missed anything before. i always think i see you, just for a split second then my heart seems to scream in desperation for one last minute with u. i was on my lunch break last week, and as i was getting out of my car, i saw what looked like your face in the glare the sun made on a car by me. i know it was just the sun's reflection, but i sat there for 2 1/2 hrs staring, and wishing for some kind of miracle. Well needless to say i was almost fired. i just explained to my boss that i was gone for so long because i saw my deceased best friend in the suns reflection on a car. pretty sure i am still employed because she feels sorry for the crazy girl. i love you forever and always curty. a.c. |
|
Saturday, July 31, 2004SheriI think you captured and put into words what we all needed to hear and wanted to say and you did it beautifully. I bet Curt is so very proud of you. Thank you so much for sharing your memories. dp |

Thursday, July 29, 2004Like alot of you that were close to Curt, I visit this website often. It's my connection to Curt-something that I will never be able to let go of. I am still so heartbroken to have lost such a dear friend, but I just feel so lucky to have had Curt in my life. He was silly-a big goofball always trying to make people smile and laugh. I miss that smile so much. I miss everything about him. I miss the way he walked. I miss the way he held his cigarette. I miss watching Seinfeld with him and hearing him laugh. I miss going to concerts with him.(the way he lit up when he heard Dave Matthews play live for the first time. I told him it would change his life!) I miss hearing the first recordings of "Touch" and giggling all the way through. I miss his curly, salt-n-pepper hair. I miss Curt's attitude...so cool, so suave. I miss his corny jokes. I miss out secret shared love of jewelry. (he always found the best pieces for me. He was thoughtful like that.) I miss our solve-the-problems of the world, late night conversations. I miss seeing him hold that guitar. I miss hearing him trying out lyrics on me-effortlessly turning words into poetry. I miss Curt walking through my front door, knowing he was family, knowing he didn't have to knock. I miss seeing Curt with my mom-the way they both lit up when they were together-the way he danced her around our porch until they were both laughing so hard together that they practically fell. I miss our roadtrips together-Curt trying to get six people crowded in a van on a five hour trip to Dallas talk into his camera and "say something intelligent". I think all he ended up with is Mandy (who has the best laugh) and I giggling at him getting mad at us, because we were being "so lame". I actually even miss his cat, Spaz, who would freakishly jump and fly into my hair. I could go on forever about the details big and small of the things I miss about Curt, but mostly I just miss him! The hurt has not gone away. The tears have not stopped. The memories have not disappeared. I listen to the c.d. and am surrounded by his pictures. Hearing his voice, seeing his face, brings him back, makes him close, makes me remember... I miss seeing Curt and Michael together. The strong connection they shared, the electricity they produced, and the friendship they spread. It was contagious. It was addicting. Everyone who knew them together, just wanted to be a part of it all. Curt and Michael changed me. They allowed me into their world and became two of my best friends. Every weekend I was there,and every weekend they made me proud. 3 Strange Days gave me some of my best friends and memories of my life. I will cherish that always. Curt, I finally got my tattoo we were going to get together. I didn't chicken out this time. I finally found a tattoo that meant something to me and my life. It's an angel. It's you. I will never forget. My Curt-I love you and miss you so much. Thanks for helping keep your spirit alive in me. Thanks for the dreams. When night falls, I will see you again.Sheri |

Wednesday, July 28, 2004I know just like myself many of 3SD fans come to this site everyday. That's how I usually start my day and I'm thankful for having this site available. I think it's given us all a way to somehow stay connected and feel closer to Curt and I'd like to ask that we do something for Curt that I think he would really enjoy and that is to request that some of 3SD songs be played on the radio again. So I'm asking some of you to join me and go to www.kiss921.com and e-quest your favorite 3SD song be played on the radio. I think it would be great to even do this on a weekly basis. I think it would mean alot to Curt and the rest of the band they all worked so hard together to give us some great music. Let's do this for Curt,Michael and Zack and for some of the others that didn't get a chance to hear them or see them perform. |

Friday, July 23, 2004I?ve known Curt since college and I watched the band from when they started at Fishbonz all the way until their final show. I used to yell at them to play their originals and I brought everyone I could to hear them play. I joked with them that I was their number one fan. Curt was an awesome guy and he loved to perform. I listened to their CD for the first time since the tribute the other day. It was hard but his music is part of his legacy and I know he would want us to listen. The other part of his legacy is how much he meant to all of us. Even though I know he is in a better place I still miss him very much. Wow, this is a lot harder than I thought it would be. Curt, brother thanks for all the shows and good times.Your number one fan, Robbie |

Monday, July 19, 2004still i ask myself every day, "is this real"?. the fourth of july sucked. we didnt even put on our little "fireworks show", we couldnt. it just wouldnt have been the same without u. it seems that im losing my sanity through all of this. i miss u and think about u always! |

Friday, July 16, 2004Well Curt, I'm finaly living in L.A and wish you were here. I came out here with no intentions of working in the music biz but all the sudden all these opportunities are showing up and people are interested in me. I cant help but to think you have something to do with it. Maybe you are returning the favors and trying to help me stay in the industry I love. Keep it up will ya? It's fun thinking I still may have a future in music. I love you brother and thanks for everything.Michael |

Sunday, July 11, 2004I had the great fortune of spending an all to brief amount of time with Curt while producing a few tracks for what would become 3 Strange Days' final record. My association with Curt was special - he was full of life, discussing his and the band's plans for the future. Ever hopeful, ever optimistic, and a consumate professional. I sensed that Curt really wanted to make a statement with his music. But, more than anything, I genuinely enjoyed his company - he was both fun to be around & funny. I hope he enjoyed our experience together as well. I will always remember his talent, his voice and his smile. Curt, you are missed.Glenn Rosenstein |

Monday, June 28, 2004Curt, I am getting ready to leave Tulsa and begin a new life in L.A. wishing that you were still going with us. I am just now getting past the denial stage and the utter saddness stage. But now, as I leave, I find myself in the anger stage of this whole thing. Angry that you aren't here to share this with Michael and I, angry that your last night wasn't the best night in your life, angry that we don't know what really happened that night on that dark road, angry at her for lying to us all, angry at your dad and the way he treated you and us, and most of all angry that you don't get to become the man I always knew you could be. I still haven't made peace with God on this whole thing and im angry about that too. But I am happy that you visit me in my dreams and its like none of this happened and you are that sweet smiling face that sits across from me at holidays and parties and concerts and road trips. I am happy that you came to my last dance recital and saw me dance for you. I didn't think that I could do it when I was standing ther in the dark, alone on that big stage. But when the lights came up I knew you were there, and I danced better than I ever had--thank you for that. I just hope and pray that your dad took you to your mother like he said he would. I promise that Michael and I will come there soon and take a handfull of the earth that you have become a part of and take you to the ocean. Then I will know you have peace. Maybe then I will too. I love you and remember you always and every day I look forward to seeing you again, in my dreams....Alycia |

|
Friday, June 18, 2004every day i wish with every thing in me, to have my best friend back. sometimes its too much, i thought this was supposed to get better as time went by.......sometimes i feel like i miss you more and more each day. i sit in this tiny cubicle and let tears fall trying not to let anyone see. im so angry,i am supposed to have u here to listen to me bitch about my guy issues or anything else i needed to vent on. sometimes, for a brief instant, i begin to reach for the phone still. doesnt make any sense...guess its just instinct or habit. the fam still misses u, donnie cant look at the scrapbook i made. i saw tears fall from his eyes,& ive only seen him cry a couple of time since hes been my dad.(and u thought he didnt like u..)missing you, still- a.c. |

Thursday, June 10, 2004curty-thank you for helping me make it through the days. thank you for the rainbow i saw, i knew it was from you...miss u.....a.c. |

Thursday, June 10, 2004Curt... I look at your picture every morning and remember. My heart is broken, but I know that you are taken care of up there. And you will always be in our thoughts and stories. |
|
Monday, May 31, 2004Curt I sit here finally listening to your old old Touch Album. Hearing your voice is comforting yet so so sad. I miss you so much and think I see you all the time driving on the highway and you keep appearing in my dreams. I so hope you are still around - I think you are. You're my favorite rock star and always will be. Peace out. |
|
Thursday, May 27, 2004i still cry, hope and beg for an explanation. i still cant accept that i cant talk to or see my best friend anymore. we will miss him at the 4th of july party..and all of the other holidays too. |
|
Wednesday, May 26, 2004Missed you this weekend. I miss you every day. Still. Saw some old pics from our ski trip back in '93. Damn we had fun. 11 years ago. Let's do it again sometime... |
|
Friday, May 21, 2004I am sitting here, just like every other day asking if this is real. I dont know if there will ever come a day when i dont wake up praying to have my best friend will some how come back. I still ask myself why this had to happen, and i dont think i will ever be the same person. every day my heart poors out a desperate prayer for an answer. no matter how many tears or prayers, i know i will just have to be strong. I have faith i will see him again someday. To all of you who grieve, cry, and long for our friend, please know that although we might not know one another, we share love and support as we suffer this tragedy together. all my love- April Crawford |
|
Monday, May 10, 2004Thanks for looking out for me lately homie. I know you've been around and I appreciate your help. Miss you dearly... |
|
Monday, May 10, 2004Just a short reminder that the fans still pray for the friends and family. The music still lives. |
|
Tuesday, April 13, 2004I have sat down to write something about Curt a dozen times but can't get through the first paragraph without crying. I miss him so very, very much. I loved him like a brother and will always keep him close to my heart. It's been over 6 weeks and I still can't write my words down on this site. It's as if there is nothing I could say to make me feel better about this tragedy. Thank you to everyone who supported us over the years and than k you all for loving Curt. At times, I miss him so much that my heart can barely beat. I will write back another time.- Michael Grim |
|
Friday, April 2, 2004Curt came into my life about the same time Micheal did. It didn't take him long to become a part of my family. He had a great passion for his music and an even greater passion love for his friends and family. I will always miss him and I'm grateful for the times that I spent with him and for knowing the person he was. JJ |
|
Wednesday, March 31, 2004I've been trying to recover from this news since I heard... but I can't erase images of his sparkling eyes and mischevious smile... He was a wonderful person even though I caught him at a rough time in his life... He will be greatly missed... forever.. |

Wednesday, March 31, 2004My brother, Even though we never met, I wish your family the best of luck. in phi - Walter |

Saturday, March 27, 2004curt was an amazingly awsome person. I didn't know real love until curt. his heart was so big. i am a better person for knowing and loving curt. it is very difficult to go on without him. he kept me grounded. i'll miss so much his sweet voice,hugs at the end of the day and his silliness. my heart is broken as are so many others that loved curt. and there are so many. curt lives on in his music and the wonderful memories that we have of him. thank you to mike and alicia and everyone that has been so generous to me during this time. i know all of you are hurting as much as me. and i am grateful to you all. curt i miss you more than words or tears can express. i will love you always and forever. your girlfriend christina |

Saturday, March 20, 2004I keep returning to this site and I am so touched at all the love and support. I feel I have to join in. I have so many memories of Curt, but my fondest memories are of the 3SD shows I went to (and i went to a lot). As one of Michael's sisters I tried to be front row at as many shows as I could. But I got the biggest thrill when Curt and I sang together on stage--I will miss that so much. Some how just being up there with the band made me feel like a rockstar---if only for one song---i can only imagine the way it made him feel.Curt was like a brother to me and a welcome addition to our family. We always laughed and joked and he fit right in. Curt and the rest of the band may not even know the impact it had on so many people. It allowed us to listen to great music and spend time with great people. I have made so many friends and have had a chance to spend more time with them and my family because of Three Strange Days. These are times that I am so thankful for. I know that my family loved him ery much and are all still grieving along with many, but he was a part of and helped to make some great memories for all of us and I wnat to thank him for that. Curt was a wonderful person with amazing talents and he will remian in our hearts forever. Curt I love and miss you-Rachel |

Tuesday, March 16, 2004When I think of Curt, which is every day, I can see his smile. I can hear him laugh. I can still see the glimmer of hope and the touch of disappointment in his face. He loved this band, he loved to sing and play. I think he loved his friends more. He tried so hard to please everyone but, thats pretty hard to do when you are also doing your best to try and please yourself. He was one of the few people I knew that always knew what they wanted in life. He wanted mostly for some to be proud of who he was. He wanted to be the best. He wanted to be famous, but most of all, he just wanted to be loved. He loved everyone. He just wanted a little in return. I have known Curt for years. He was a pleasure to be with. He loved life so much. I hope he can find life after death. Life will never be the same without him. He was so much a part of our family I don't think any of us will ever get over him. |

Monday, March 15, 2004This is the first time I've been able to come to this site since Curty passed away,part of me died with him tht day. Curt Winfred Martin was my dearest,loved and most treasured friend. My life will never be the same with out him in it. There was a part of him that was rare for most people to see. I will always be honored to keep those memories alive in my heart. Damn it Curty, why arent you here any more?! Who will I do donuts in parking lots with next winter? Curt was my best friend, without him I would be dead. I love him and miss him so much, but I'm so mad that I am here and he's not. Curt was a wonderful, beautiful, and talented person. We always looked out for each other, thats the type of friend he was. I know he will always be looking out for me (and you too,guys!). Patience wasnt Curts top quality, but love was. This is why I know that, no matter how long it takes, he will wait for each and every one of his beloved friends and family members and greet us at heavens gate.
I Love and Miss You, Curty |

Thursday, March 11, 2004I met Curt when i worked at the voodoo room. I was not aware that one person could be loved by so many people. I remember when Curt would be setting up and do his sound checks and they would goof of on stage. Curt and the band would sing a song before we oppened and the bar tenders would dance behind the bar and all of us girls would stand around and just listen and dance. When we opened and it was time for them to come on stage the crowd would go crazy. When Curt got on the stage and announced that he would not be singing there anymore, every one in the crowd got sad including me. I felt like i was losing a friend, even though i did not know him all that well. I was so proud that he was going on to become something more. I looked up to Curt, everyone at the voodoo room looked up to him and we looked forward to hear him play there. I was unable to make it to his final performance at the voodoo room, but i am honored that i got to hear him play while i was at work. I will truely miss you Curt and you will alays remain in my thoughts and in my heart. Maybe someday i will hear you sing again in heaven. You are up there singing for the angels now so make me proud. We all love you and you are truely missed by us all.

Thursday, March 4, 2004When I was recently out of a divorce, Mike helped in my transition back into the single life by invitation to hear 3SD play at the Voodoo Room. It was then that I met Curt and Zach. The energy these talented musicians brought to the stage was rare, very rare. They have more raw talent than most polished musicians; their sound was natural, needless to say a winner! After hearing them play I was hooked. I soon made my hangout to be where ever they played (especially the Voodoo Room) After many months I met the most wonderful girl that shared the same passion for their music as I did. As a matter of fact, ?Seams? is OUR song! The impact these men made in my life is immeasurable. I hope the family finds comfort knowing that Curt was loved by all that met him, his funeral service showed a true tribute to the great man he was. Words cannot express my deepest sympathy to his family, friends and most importantly, ChristieThanks for the great times Curt, I will miss you. - Kevin |
|
Thursday, March 4, 2004Curt was so blessed to be raised in a wonderful Christian family. My heart goes out to them as they try to go on with their lives. I hope and pray that Curt is with his Mother now in Heaven. She was such a special lady! |

Thursday, March 4, 2004I HAD THE PRIVELAGE TO SPEND MY TEENAGE YEARS WITH CURT AND DAVIN AT GOODLETTSVILLE CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE IN NASHVILLE, TN. HE WAS THE FUNNIEST GUY AND ALWAYS MADE ME HAVE A GREAT TIME WHEN WE WERE TOGETHER. THOSE WERE THE BEST DAYS OF OUR LIVES AND I CANT WAIT UNTIL WE ARE ALL REUNITED ONE DAY IN HEAVEN. CURT, DAVIN, MR. MARTIN, FRIENDS AND FAMILY YOU ARE ALL IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS EVERY DAY. I LOVE YOU ALL. GOD BLESS.- AMANDA BINKLEY THOMAS |

Thursday, March 4, 2004I was looking at old pictures this week, and I saw "entertainer" written all over Curt's adorable 9 year old face. That's about the time I became smitten with the boy who could be a little devil, an angel, and my hero all in the same day. It seems like yesterday when he laughed me out of the tattoo parlor 'coz I was too scared to sacrifice my ankle for love. I have lots of great memories with Curt that have been coming back to me clearly in the last few days, the funniest of them all being when he learned the "Roger Rabbit" and couldn't give it a rest. I never saw him perform with 3SD, did he use that move on stage?! I know I, just like everyone else who was lucky enough to know him, will be able to see Curt's adorable face forever. Curt, I'm so proud of you, Babe.-B. in Nashville |

Tuesday, March 2, 2004Andy brought Curt with him on our second date - we went to Chances R and sang Karaoke. Curt sang "Rita Meter Maid" british accent and all and Pearl Jam's "Better Man". I instantly loved Curt - he seemed to do that to everyone he met. Make you feel like you've known each other forever. We had so many great times together, all of us as friends - going to Kansas City to see Pearl Jam, driving to Boulder to see Dave Matthews. Curt sleep walking in our hotel room in KC! Curt lived with Andy and I while I was pregnant with Mariah. Neither one of us was working at the time and we had many fun times together eating and watching "A Baby Story". I will always remember our special time together then. Curt could always make you laugh. We will all miss you Curt. You were a special person and very very loved. Peace out my friend. |
|
Tuesday, March 2, 2004I listened to your CD today. The first time since you've been gone. I cried, I got angry and kept asking myself why. 3SD was a great band, you three made it great you, Michael and Zack. I think one reason why was because you were such good friends and really care about each other. How wonderful it must have been sharing all those times together. There are so many people you touched in so many special ways. I hope your dreams came true Curt. I will listen to your music often and visualize you, Michael and Zack on stage. Those were good memories. Everyone please keep 3SD's music alive and let Curt do what he loved to do...sing.. |

Monday, March 1, 2004Curt, You are my friend, and brother and I love you so much... I will always cherish our memories together: Shrievport, Elvis week '92,skiing, going to Walmart at midnight so we could buy a ski-rope and pull each other on roller-blades... enough memories for a lifetime. I should be thankful for the great times we had...You were a great friend to my wife and you were a part of our family since before we became one. Curt, you were one of the few people that would push the envelope more than I. You were resourceful and approached life with wreckless abandon. I always loved that about you. Even when times were tough you were still having fun. I know you still are, and I will miss all of that so much until I see you again. I'm sure you'll know all the cool places to hang-out when I see you on the other side. I am proud and lucky to have known you for the time I did. Take care friend. I will miss you dearly... |

Monday, March 1, 2004CURT WAS AMAZING MAN AND A KIND ONE AT THAT, I DIDMT KNOW HIM AS WELL AS I HAD WANTED TO BUT FROM THE FIRST TIME I MET THE BAND (THE ORIGINALS) MIKE, CURT, AND ZACH WE USED TO KIDD AROUD AND CALL THEM THREE STRANGE GAYS I REMEMBER GOING TO FAYETTEVILLE ARK. WITH THEM AND UNINVITED GUEST, TO LET THEM OPEN IT WAS SOME GOOD TIMES. I KNOW THAT CURT WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED, AND MY HEART GOES OUT TO HIS FAMILY AND GIRLFRIEND AND HIS SOON TO BE ARRIVING CHILD. I JUST FOUND OUT THAT I MYSELF AM ABOUT TO BE A DAD AND CANT WAIT FOR THAT SPECIAL DAY, I KNOW THAT CURT WOULD WANT TO BE THERE FOR HIS SPECIAL DAY WHEN HE HIMSELF BECOMES A FATHER. FROM THE DAYS OF CURT AND MIKE CALLING ME 2 HOURS BEFORE THERE SHOW TO SAY HEY WE NEED YOU TO PULL OUR TRAILER BECAUSE ZACK WONT PULL IT WITH HIS 4 RUNNER OR TO THOSE LONG NIGHTS OF PLAYING AND GETTING DRUNK AND THEN HAVING TO TEAR EVERYTHING DOWN AND LOAD IT THEY WILL ALL BE MISSED ESPECIALLY YOU CURT - COLLIN |

Monday, March 1, 2004Although I did not know Curt well, I feel very lucky to have known him at all. We met about 3 years ago through a mutual friend while 3SD was performing @ Full Moon. Curt was such a great guy. Very funny, always sweet, and a great musician. I loved hearing 3SD perform because you guys were the best! I no longer live in Tulsa, so when visiting this past wk. end, myself and a few friends randomly decided to go to Twister's. None of us knew about Curt's tragic passing. Needless to say, it was a huge shock and very emotional night. Even though it was a terribly sad, I am so glad I walked into that little bar Friday night and got to be part of Curt's tribute. My prayers are with your family, friends, girlfriend, and your baby. Curt, you were loved by so many and we will miss you so much. Thanks for all of the smiles you brought to our faces. - JL |
|
Monday, March 1, 2004I have known Curt for many years thru Alycia and Michael. Not that we were ever close, I did admire his talent while attending many of the shows and he always seemed to have a kind heart. My husband and I were there when 3SD started out and unfortunately we weren't able to make the final show. I know Curt will be missed by everyone who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his close friends and family and he will always be remembered. Thanks for all of the good memories 3SD! - Melissa |

Sunday, February 29, 2004Thank you to everyone who came out to Twister's to support all of us. Curt means so much to me he was my freind and my brother. I cannot explaine what he ment to me there are no words big enough. He is a great man and will be missed so much. I thank god that I was able to spend almost 4 years with him. 3sd will always have a special place in my heart. He will live on forever in all of our hearts. To my brothers Mike,Zack,and Aaron I love you guys and I am so privledged to share a common bond with you boys, Curt.Thank you to who came out we raised six thousand dollars for Curt and Christie's unborn child. I love you all and 3sd. We are 3 Strange Days good night. - Love Waterboy |

Sunday, February 29, 2004I had recently heard of the band from a friend and could not wait to see them perform. My husband and I went to the voodoo room for the final show and was blown away by the performance. I am deeply saddened and can not believe the tragedy that happened after that night. We will be praying for his family and friend and for his child that is on the way. We are blessed that we were able to see him at all. |

Sunday, February 29, 2004I was luckey to have met Curt 10 years the same night that I met my husband, Michael. I went to his mother's funeral with him and Michael in Shreveport a few months later. We drove there and back in my camero and bonded over Counting Crows. That was when I really started to know Curt. At OSU, Curt would pick me up for class on his motercycle and we would end up skipping class to drive around Stillwater on his bike. He loved that and so did I. After college he and Michael got an apartment and I basically lived with them over the next 3 years. Curt even made me a cubby hole under their stairs when it stormed because he knew I was scared. And when Michael and I would argue, he was always right by my side to defend me. That was the kind of person he was, so kind hearted and protective of his friends. I am so proud of all he accomplished with his music. He was always at home on the stage and I loved to see him there.I will miss his sweet face and spending the holidays with him at my parents house. Most of all I wll miss my husband having him as a friend. Michael and I want everyone who has written in and called and all who came to the funeral and tribute show to know how much that has touched us. Thank you to all of you. Curt always loved having a line out the door to see him, and that is what he had. Curt taught us all something different, lets all hold that close and never forget. I love you, Curt and will never forget your friendship to me and Michael...... - Alycia Grim |

Saturday, February 28, 2004The benefit last night was amazing! It was so touching to see that tiny little bar busting at the seems with people who loved Curt!!! It's not hard to see that he lives on in all of our hearts. |

Saturday, February 28, 2004Curt the squirt was a great brother in law and uncle. You will be missed by all. You had such talent, you always made your brother jeleous! I hope the world knows how great you were. Thanks for all you did and all that has already come out of your passing. Unfortunately, this has brought your family closer. I wish we could have done this without loosing such a bright, rising star. Love ya lots Uncle Dirt. |

Saturday, February 28, 2004I will never forget Curt. We grew up in the church of the Nazarene in Goodlettsville, Tennessee together. I remember being sad when Curt moved away because I would not have someone to fight with. I think I was the closest thing to a bratty little sister he ever had. Even though we fought often I still loved him. He had a lot of passion and a lot of angst. I hope his dreams came true. I hope he knew true love. I hope Christ was his saviour. I hope he feels pain no more. - Valerie Whitten-Turner |

Friday, February 27, 2004Curt- We miss you so much. You were an enthusiastic entertainer, a friend and a brother to so many. You have touched many lives through your music. I am glad to have known you and the memories will always make me smile. You are a true free spirit. I continue to pray for your family and girlfriend. We are all truly "lost without You." We will miss your mischievous grin and smiling face forever. |

Friday, February 27, 2004My best friend Sheri is great friends with the band and shared their CD with me and even let me tag along to a few shows... We always had a great time. She has become so close to the guys and I know they helped her through a difficult time in her life. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who is hurting. Life is short. Love and friendship are forever. Thanks for the great memories!! - Anne R. |

Friday, February 27, 2004Curt and I were in choir together in high school. My senior year and his junior year. We hung out quite a bit and even went skiing together in '91. I've only seen him a couple of times since school, but I have very good and fun memories. Having played in bands myself for the last 16 years, I know how hard it can be to part with a fellow band member, I can only imagine how hard this must be for you guys. My thoughts and prayers are with you. |

Friday, February 27, 2004As a fellow musician, my heart goes out to you all. I know that dissolving a band is hard enough to do after all the hard work & love of your artistic expression goes into it. So your show Saturday night was probably bittersweet in and of itself, and to have such a tragic accident happen after a night that was supposed to be the last hoorah is something I cannot even pretend to say I feel completely everything you must be going through right now or is not even something I could probably comprehend. A band is a family and to lose a brother the night of the last show...leaves me speechless. I am so sorry for your & Curt's family's loss. You are in my prayers. |

Friday, February 27, 2004Please convey my heartfelt thanks to his family for all the great music and enjoyment Curt has brought to all of us. May God be with all of you during these strange days. |

Friday, February 27, 2004Growing up in Nashville, Curt and I were best friends. We enjoyed the majority of our youth together, which was mainly spent cruising Rivergate Mall in his Ford Mustang convertible He was a great friend, as I am sure you guys know. After his move to Sapulpa we saw one another twice and I eventually lost contact with Curt. I have often wondered what he was doing with his life? If he ever found happiness? Like most rebellious high school teenagers, the Curt I knew was searching for something? What I am not for sure, but I hope he found it. The last time I saw Curt, the summer of '95, he shared his love of music with me and his dream to make it one day as a musician. I thought working at the Sapulpa Macaroni Grill singing Italian Opera would be the closest he would come to singing in public and getting paid for it. Thankfully I was wrong. After listening to your demos I could hear that "raw emotion" that Curt was trying to capture for his fans. He stated that "no one song has only one meaning or one message. It's all about what you get out of the music." It sounds like he did just that, got out what he needed to live a full life. Curt will be missed. |

Friday, February 27, 2004CURT was an amazing man and musician. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. My wife and I have been following 3SD for about three or four years now and they are one of our all time favorite local bands. We were lucky enough to see their last performance and look forward to what the future may bring for them. Rest In Peace Curt, you will be greatly missed. -WITH DEEPEST SYMPATHY, ALEX AND SHELLEY BROWN- |

Thursday, February 26, 20043 Strange Days was one of the best local bands around. I rarely ever missed them when they were doing a show somewhere. I was a loyal follower of the band, as were my friends. I was shocked and deeply saddened by his tragic and untimely death. My heart goes out to his friends, family and his girlfriend. God bless you all in this time of sorrow and Curt, rest in peace. |

Thursday, February 26, 2004I met Curt almost two years ago through a mutual friend. For months following we?d see each other around, but never really got to know one another, just casual hellos and thin conversations. Then in early to mid October 2002 I was at a 3SD show and had far too many (I remember 9) shots of Jägermeister. Before the drinks I was emotionally wrecked and mentally very far away ? after the Jäger I was just this side of lost. Curt somehow picked up on this and sat with me for a few minutes. I can?t remember all his words, but I vividly remember his sincere relation to and understanding of my disconnection. He expressed that despite anything else in the world, any hurt or pain drawn from any source, I could always find peace and strength in friends. Curt knew how great my friends are because they were also his friends. And I can say in that moment and that exchange we went from being a couple guys who knew one another to friends? because he took a moment and reached out to someone who was rapidly disconnecting. So,to Curt I say, Thank you? and you were right. |

Thursday, February 26, 2004I was shocked to hear the tragic news about Curt. I was a big fan of 3SD and always enjoyed the shows. I will never forget the energy and fun that Curt brought to the shows and how he always tried to bring ?the running man? back. My prayers and condolences go out to the friends and family of Curt in this time of sorrow and pain. I am heartbroken that 3SD will never be together again??but the music lives on and so will the memory of Curt Martin - Jamie Barrett, Tulsa |

Thursday, February 26, 2004I had the great honor of loving Curt as a friend and as a girlfriend and I will never forget the beautiful soul he was. I shared some of the best times of my life with Curt and I'm grateful for having those moments in time. I cannot express the deep sorrow I will fell for the rest of my life knowing that Curt will never make us smile again. This is an extremely tragic happening in my history. I send my deepest regret to Zach & Michael and also to Curt's family. I will keep you in my thoughts forever Curt. May you rest in peace and may the world never forget the man you were. - Megan Seery-Orchard |

Thursday, February 26, 2004My mother and I saw came to one of your shows. We really enjoyed it. Curt will be missed. Not only was he a talented musician but also had a great sense of humor. |

Thursday, February 26, 2004I didn't know Curt, but I knew a girl who, anytime she didn't come to see our band, it was because she was seeing 3SD. She loved them. Thoughts and prayers go out to Curt's family, friends, and everyone else effected by this tragedy. So sorry this happened. - Janna, Down For Five, Tulsa |

Thursday, February 26, 2004I'm not sure who, if anyone, will recieve this. I hardly know any of you, but I do feel that it is important for you to know that people other than friends and family are continuously praying for everyone that is hurting right now. The only Curt that I knew was the one on the stage performing, but I saw the light in him that I'm sure you are all feeling empty without. I think that I speak on behalf of all of the 3 Strange Days fans when I say that we will all miss you guys and that we are praying for all of the friends and family of Curt Martin. (Please give a message to Christina that she is in my thoughts and prayers every day) - Amber Roberts (msAmbular@msn.com) |
