header_sml CD Notes

Dennis and I met in 1976 when a group of local musicians used to hang out at the old family eating house in Lutz, Florida for open mic every Tuesday night. I used to listen in awe when he and some young girls (later to be known as the Burns Sisters) would sing One of These Days. I would sign up to sing with a few friends as well. We called ourselves the Four Easy Pieces. A few years later, that band grew into The New Sand Mt. Wildcats and Dennis joined us in 1980. We have been singing across the stage from each other for the past 20 years but only recently discovered our potential as a duo when we “accidentally” sat next to each other at a duet singing class taught by Jody Stecher and Kate Brislin at Augusta in Elkins, W. Va. Neither knew that the other was going up for the week-long music camp even though we had performed and spoke to each other on a weekly basis.

It was one of those serendipity happenings in life that can change your course and forever add to the quality of your life. Our voices worked together from the very start ... one of those special blends that every harmony singer prays for and treasures when they find.

For the past two years, Dennis and I have developed our duet singing style and pursued that “harmony lock” ... the magic that happens when two voices become one. We hope that you enjoy our efforts in this, our first duet recording.
