While we had planned for a live concert presentation in 2020, the restrictions related to COVID-19 required us to change our plans. Instead, we recorded the songs with a 4 piece combo band directed by Joe Paule, Sr. who played synth and trumpet, with Tim Clark on piano, Tom Appelbaum on the drum kit, and Joe Paule, Jr. on the bass guitar.
