I am recently in a project with Johnny Morris and the Midnight Sun Band: http://www.myspace.com/midnightsb and we're working on a CD. Hear free DVD of Midnight Sun's cover songs on the linked website and read our promo-package to find out more information about each one of us.
Midnight Sun is like a local family, with Stan Allen on percussion & vocals, Larry Allen on bass, keyboards, & vocals, Bill Weaver on guitar & vocals, Steve Parker ..boards, Johnny Morris*: lead vocals, and myself (Shaky Don): Guitar & vocals. We're getting into the mo-town sound again.
We are working on originals and every member writes songs and we are having a very good time. Soon to release a CD.

*Johnny Morris has also performed with: The Jackson Five, Roberta Flack
In the Eyes of the Children, Don't Fuel the Fire, Cries of Hard Rock & Roll, and Safe Sex were some of my first 4-track recordings done in my basement. I played all instruments except for the drums. These songs were almost lost. Even though they were some of the first songs I've written, I think they were a little bit ahead of their time. These were from the beginning of my writing style.
"Special Moments" was written and arranged by me in '87. I played all instruments except for Brian Correll on lead solo.
Today, after the people that I've played with, my writing style has grown very versatile, but in case I don't record these songs again I thought that you should hear them.
Music forever,
