Website question

UPDATE: This has been fixed. Thanks to Adam Alexander for pointing me in the right direction. Turns out it was the “Gallery” templates and using a strict doctype.

Below is the text of an email I received from Bill Ward regarding the recent anniversary of the death of Cozy Powell.. H! Everyone. Thanks, Joe, for reminding us it’s been ten years since Cozy died.

Happy New Year from Joe Siegler

Today is January 1, 2008. Fourty years ago this year, four lads from Birmingham got together, formed a band named “The Polka Tulk Electric Blues Band”.
