What the heck….I’ll post this for the fun of it and a little bragging rights! š
Last year I played guitars on my friend, Chris Orazi’s project called “Dream Taxi”.

We got played on XM radio one night and we squealed like littler girls with excitement. The track that XM played was “A World Too Far”.
I play guitars on most of the other tracks as well. My favorite being “Angels over Phoenix” just my classical doing a simple ditty in the background while Chris played some keys and added some synth. We discussed making a much larger piece of music out of this for our next project.
My daughter performs all the vocals on “The Village” which was inspired by a true story about a girl in Africa who is forced by the government, against her wishes, to leave the city and return the village of her grandparents. The government did not want certain persons in the city and wanted to reduce the population within. Each person had an ID “card” that stated where they must return to. Thus, the chorus section. My long time teacher Herb Moore plays the outro solo. Herb was teaching Ed King (Skynyrd) when I was taking lessons from Ed. http://www.herbmoorejazz.com Herb is now playing in Cape May NJ with Al DiMeola’s keyboard player, Barry Miles.
