Album Notes

Hi I'm Marty Kupersmith (Kupe) who in my other life as a founding member of Jay and the Americans is known as Marty Sanders. To keep it short and sweet I started this collection before Jay and the Americans got back together. If in listening there seems to be no continuity, it's because there is none and as a fan of "free form" radio that was my goal from the gecko! Each song has its own characteristic and a corresponding character to play the part. I grew up listening to and loving Hank Williams and Frank Sinatra and not having the audacity to emulate them, i do their songs as a form of homage and respect. I've also covered a Moonglows song (When I'm WithYou) and Julie London"s Cry Me a River and nine of my originals. Hope you enjoy ! Marty
