Gary Sauer and Holly Anderson

Gary Sauer - All instruments, Lead vocal
Holly Anderson - Lead Vocal

Gary Sauer has been a Spock's Beard fan since 2000, mere days after they appeared in his native Philadelphia, unbeknownst to him.  A drummer for most of his life, Gary recently took up the guitar after his daughter bailed out after only two lessons.  It was the idea of his guitar teacher, Clint Lagerberg, to take on this cover tune from the band Izz.  Working for nearly five months, a half an hour a week at a time, this is the finished product. When this song was originally chosen, not much thought was given to the fact that there was a female vocal part.  Once the project was well underway,
Gary had to decide how to deal with the female vocals. 


 

Since Gary is a DJ at the Dividing Line Broadcast Network, he had heard some material from a former DJ, Holly Anderson. Holly's beautiful voice was a natural fit and luckily she agreed to help
out.  The timing of completing the song and this project magically coincided and after the project spilled over to a second disc, Gary was persuaded by friends to contribute this track.

Gary would like to thank Clint  Lagerberg for being the catalyst, engineer and producer, Holly Anderson for her fabulous singing, Tom Galgano for writing the song and providing
valuable guidance for the bass and keyboard parts and to Brian Cobb for a wonderful mix of the final tracks and of course to Barry and the rest of the board members for the idea and the hard work to make this a reality.

Holly Anderson lives in Tennessee at the current time.  Holly has been singing professionally, mostly in choirs, since she was 11 years old, for over half her life.  Even though that's not what she's chosen to do for her life, music still brings her a lot of joy.  She was very excited to work with Gary on this project as Izz is one of her favorite bands.  She hopes the listeners enjoy listening to it as much as she enjoyed working on it.
