”I am very excited and pleased with how good the final masters of these tunes have turned out…it would not have come to fruition without the masterful help of my musical partner, Steve Murphy…he played drums on all the tracks as well as engineered, mixed, produced and composed with me on this…other members of The Alan Parsons Live Project, John Montagna and Manny Focarazzo (bassist And keyboardist, respectively) lent their extraordinary talents to the recording…my son Joseph, who is a fine bassist and keyboardist, also makes a special appearance…Bill Murphy, (Steve's brother) masterfully co-engineered the final mixes at his studio in Florida...I couldn’t have hoped for a better finished product than what I have here…every song is another exciting journey that leads into the next track…if you are a fan of Classic Rock music and guitar playing, I think you will really enjoy this…please feel free to give me your review of it with any suggestions or requests you may have for what will definitely be a soon-to-follow-up 2nd CD”…please enjoy, Godfrey Townsend
