I wrote all the songs on my CD (including three with John Reinert), and sang (lead & harmony) on all the tracks. John Reinert is the drummer and Gino Nave helped out with guitar solos, bass and mixing. Brian Triplett added bass to a couple tracks. A mystery girl applauded the drummer after the finished take and I left it in. It ain’t a "band" per se, but we got the job done.
