Originally started in 1985, we have published several offerings to the world. A spin-off became the famous Freedom and Whiskey with members Mike Huettig and Bill Goins. They went on to become famous in their own right, and I am very proud to be associated twith them and their families.
As the years progressed, Whoopy Cat has evolved along with the ever changing Internet, audio technology and even live performances. Our unique IT abilities have translated quite well to audio. Our partnerships have enhanced our abilities to adapt to the future.
