2025 is the 50th anniversary of the greatest band I ever played in - we were days away from signing to be produced, published and launched by the great Chick Corea before his partner stepped in - (Ron Moss - asshole!) It is all the recordings of the group that I have (to date) plus "Inverted Forest" *
Featuring myself, Tom Shirley: Drums
Jim Schwab: Bass, *Jerry Keating: Keyboards
Bonus: "The Dream of SSS" a song I wrote for SSS but never recorded with them so I did it as a trio!
My new 12 String guitar shines on this one! Lyrics include references to Leonardo, Michelangelo, Medusa, finding girlfriends, Paul McCartney's beautiful ballad "I Will" (FAR superior than Harrison's "Something", but it gets overlooked) and fantasies-not realized. Click the album art to watch the video I created for this killer pop composition!
Pencil artwork and Photoshop by Pauly.
My whole 2003 CD plus 9 new tunes in a country vein...all original 12 songs remastered and also new parts added to each song, making them more the way I heard them but could not achieve on a 4 track cassette recorder back then.

A brand new re-recording of a song I wrote in 1983 on the way to a gig in deepest darkest Kendall, a suburb of Miami, Horriduh.
The moon was absolutely full, I had a 45 minute drive and we played from 10pm to 4:30 am! 5 nights a week! INSANITY. But there he was, hanging in the sky and all the "cliches" about full moons came to me ... listen to it and you'll hear. On this new version, I took 11 days to record and edit it and it shows ...
I used my new Danelectro 12 string to great effect, which is NOT to say that my 48 year old Les Paul got left out - NO WAY. I actually think this may be the best recording I have ever made, with a new snare drum sample I found ... it came out great! Out now.
NOTE: The instrumental version will be out on the new TIMBERCATS REMASTERED album to be launched 2.19-20.2025.
I used my 1975 Alvarez-Yairi acoustic armed with a brand new L.R. Baggs Anthem pickup, and I played some beautiful melodies!
9 NEW instrumentals plus 3 Remastered updates from the Sextet Vol. 1 release, which was distributed before I had Ozone Advanced Mastering software ... Coming July 2024. Cover Art:
