  Mr. CUNNINGHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor one of the 
greatest musical acts to ever come out of Charleston, South Carolina, 
Jump, Little Children.
  Since their early days busking on the corner of Church and Market 
Streets twenty-five years ago, Jump has earned a substantial and loyal 
fan base that has followed them throughout the country, supporting 
their nine records and EPs, and literally thousands of energetic 
concerts that keep us showing up whenever they Come Around.
  No matter where you hear a Jump song, you can Close Your Eyes and 
picture yourself back in the old Charleston Cathedrals of the raucous 
Music Farm after Midnight or the Quiet Dock Street Theater during the 
Holidays. Those were special days for so many of us in Charleston.
  After The Dim and the Dark of a nearly ten year hiatus, Jump returned 
to the stage to remind us all how much we love their music, their 
personalities, and their shows. And how grateful we are they did.
  And before we all Say Goodnight to this band, whenever that may be, 
the United States Congress wishes many more years of Jump, Little 
Children, along with the music and memories they create. From 
Charleston, South Carolina, to Washington, D.C., to the Rains in Asia, 
and the Green Fields of Canada, all the way to Mexico, Jump, Little 
Children has left an indelible mark on this world, one that will never 
be forgotten.
  Because of them their music will forever be a part of the soundtrack 
for the city we all love.
  Congratulations on 25 years. Here's to 25 more.
