Album Notes

Miss Diana and Dr. Jay met at a music store and married three weeks later. An image momentarily frozen in time pictures Dr. Jay beaming, a judge staring wide-eyed into space and Miss Diana looking at Dr. Jay with a little bit of concern. That was a few years ago (two spent in Europe), about 300 original songs, at least 5000 club dates and somewhere around 3062 mornings of Miss Diana sitting across a breakfast table watching Dr. Jay eat corn flakes, smoke a hand-rolled cigarette and smile at her pretty face - there’s usually a bead of milk dripping down Dr. Jay's chin.

Album Notes:
first off, this canzoniere is not in any incontrovertible order - i wanted you to hear some of our songs and these seem to adhere to that premise. now a few brief words concerning those involved in the making of the sounds on this cd are called for (if for no other reason than to bring up to date all those who wish details of the technical and or musical genre). i should bring to your attention the fact that our music exists in a somewhat aberrant incarnation in that our band (a very loose term) consists of: all vox - miss diana, with the exception of the subsequent "yea, yea's" on "i gotta make it somehow" which included mike, skip, and myself. musicians - dj, excepting the acoustic guitar on "martyr on the road" which was played by our memphis friend Eric Lewis. some choir & strings were performed by Huzoor Korg. the songs were recorded @ house of blues studio (la or memphis), record ranch (memphis) - thanks to Skip McQuinn - or at the ice creame factory - on either a 32 track, a 16 hard disk, or a couple of da-88's. most mixing was done on a trident series 80. engineered, arranged & produced - dj. plus some vocal engineering by Mike Iacopelli (no umlount or grave over the e, i or o). the best way to keep in touch with us is @ drjaymissdiana.com - all this stuff © mmv usa, uk. all of miss diana & i's songs are published through prazin' music, bmi thanks for the listen, dj.
