A full scale project of ten new tunes, and fifteen musicians adding their talents.

Produced by Dave Pellicciaro and Andy Monaco, on the Onessa label, this should prove to be the break-through album.

Retro rock, pop, quasi country, gospel, viola and dogs, this record includes just about all of Andy’s personalities.

Add to this mixture, Mighty Dave’s decades of rock and roll attitudes, a mighty big, mighty fine Hammond B-3; it really takes off.
    On drums, Bob Smith, a man who can play anything and usually does, who defines the phrase, “getting bobbed”.

Rick Sproul on electric guitar: young, raw and talented.

On electric bass, fretless bass and rowboat bass (an upright bass hand crafted of finely chosen marine plywoods), Rich Daigle, affectionately known as Dr. Funk. A big man in the business.
   

Ricardo Romero, percussionist at large, loves dogs and all women, a two fisted eater, and player of great reknown, he plays on mosts tracks.
   
Night Train, our saxophonist, also know by his Christian name John Flanders, blows tenor, baritone and clarinet on this work.

Rex Flinner, our master of the mandolin, guests on two songs, and steals ‘em both.

Mary Amanda on stringed harp, Grace Larsen on viola AND violin (she honored our request to play them one at a time).

On banjo and lap steel, Pat Terry, who is really a guitar player, but has these Idaho tendencies to over achieve.

Why, we even lured our recording engineer, Herc O, out of his chair, to play a chilling slide guitar on one song.

    Plus, back up singers Lisa Marie, Brian Ellison, and when their touring schedules permit, Mary Tebbs and Bo Gravino add their vocal talents and interpretations.

Throw in Yahoo’s dog howls, the accordian parts that got mixed out, and Andy’s children playing percussion, round out the who’s who.
