This project was a thirty year reunion of the Sound Smith Studios and Staff-O-Life Production’s studio orchestra from 1979-80. It was a real joy to be back in the studio with some old partners and some new friends as well. This group was originally a trio with me, Joe Millward /Keyboards and Key Bass, and Dave Royer Drums. The “casino act” became this twenty two piece light orchestra which we would pair-down to seven, eight, nine or even ten pieces, for various performances. I’m still using the same format on gigs today with trios, quartets and quintets when the occasion arises.

Produced at Falcon Recording Studios Portland, OR
