Ken Marshall and Todd Gray met in college in 1987.  A mutual love of playing music helped to cement a lasting friendship that is still strong to this day.  Soon after they met, they began to collaborate and record songs on Todd's 4-track recorder.  Over the course of the next 4 years they wrote and recorded more than a dozen songs together.  After graduation they parted ways and have only gotten together for a few short visits since.

The last of those visits came in the summer of 1998 and the song on this benefit CD was recorded during that brief get together at Ken's house in New Hampshire.  The song was recorded live with the exception of the solos which were added later.  Ken played the bass line and chords on his Juno 106 synth while Todd played the guitar on Ken's electric Yamaha.  Together they programmed the drums using Ken's computer.  As a drummer foremost, Todd was able to put some nice touches on the drum track.



The album cover shown here was created years later when Ken assembled many of the duo's recordings onto one CD to distribute to their family and friends.  Ken drew these caricatures back in college for an album cover for their music.
