The following song is from Kinny Landrum created collaboratively by sharing files online and using each musicians virtual remote studio. Steve Jr. and I were delighted when Kinny from Nyack, NY called to assist with this production. The online remote session included Richard Lindsey on bass ( from California, my partner in the Kips Bay Band) and Joey Cerisano my bandmate in the R-Band from NJ....40 years earlier!!
Ronnie from the Jitters that I was a member of in NYC in the 80's, contacted me to record a couple of ideas. He only came over once but did leave a basic guitar idea for a 60's song by Manfred Mann. Once again I asked Steve Junior, Kinny Landrum and Richard Lindsey to complete the song for me....... virtually of course.
Jeff Kline is a dear friend who owns and operates Kline's music in Lambertville New Jersey. He was asked to write a Piublic Service Announcement for his home town of Lambertville, NJ on the banks of the Deleware River.
I took the acoustic track and Steve and I put guitar bass and drums on it. "
