As I am currently in a process of heading to the Pacific Northwest, on (as one of my distant cousins calls it) my "transcontinental migration", The Dream Band, for all intents and purposes, is disbanding. I don't rule out some future reunions, but, realistically, it is not likely to be a regular thing anymore. This page will soon be converted to a Photo page.
My love and thanks to all the members of The Dream Band, whether on a regular or a "sometime" basis: John Lovejoy, incredibly talented keyboardist (and longtime friend), Jay Cook, who joined the band a couple of years ago, adding his wonderful ethnic drums and percussion, and our newest addition, Dave Thomas, who (when Peter McConnel moved away recently) brought his lively lead guitar to the mix.
To Peter McConnel, who, along with being our original lead guitarist, also contributed his prolific talents to all of the recorded work. To Tom Hitchcock, who stepped in at times on rhythm guitar, and Wendy Rezzonico, who occasionally added her beautiful vocal harmonies, which you'll hear on the soon-to-be-released new CD "Awakening". And to bizouki player, Seth Harris, and mandolin player, Charlie Downey, who also appear on the newest recording. (Check back on the site, I'll have it up as soon as possible.)
It has been a joy to work with these musicians. I thank each of them for greatly enhancing this material with their unique and wonderful creative gifts.
