Robin Lewis: Guitar, Sax, Lead Vocals Bruce Boldon: Bass, Vocals John Tenney: Keyboards, Vocals Pete Weller: Drums, Drum programming It was my great fortune to work with Robin Lewis and Bruce Boldon. Drummer Pete Weller was very talented as well. We had a bunch of gigs in Central Florida and actually made a buck or two. Everyone who made the effort to come and see us loved us. Our agent, Didi from Babe's Entertainment Plus, was pretty disappointed when I ran off to join Clutch, although she is the one who got me the gig. I would love to know what Bruce and Robin are doing these days. Listen to "Business Lady" and you can see that these two had a talent for vocals, and most important, could blend their harmonies perfectly. I still think there is talent there for a record company. |

Right Click to Download I love this song. Tony George and Bobby Lord said it took too long to get to the hook and therefore they rejected it as a presentation to the record company. I was really disappointed. We worked really, really hard on this demo and it hit hard that it wasn't accepted. So off we went to do covers and played the club circuit for almost a year.

Right Click to Download This song made us crack up. We were all working as engineers on things like EEPROMS and what not and this song just hit home. An interesting note: Robin's background vocals were doubled digitally rather than by recording twice as we usually did. This was done to save a track on our 8 track.

Right Click to Download I know this song is on this website three times but I really like it. I later used much of Robin's vocal interpretations in the final version. He did a great sax solo, too. Bruce originally recorded the bass track but I had to re-record it later when he was sent out of town on business. I struggled to play exactly the same notes as his and it came off.
