Gil does a nice job on this song. When I listen to it I can hear the Sunliner influences coming through with the harmonizing saxes. Nice work Gil.

When I first heard it, The Sunliners track "The Islander" sprang to mind.  Cool sound from Gil.

Great minds etc, when I first listened to it I also thought it sounded like "The Islander".

What next Gil a 2007 version of "Stamp out The Beatles"? lol.

Thanks for the compliments fellas.It blew my mind when you guys mentioned "The Islander".I havent listened to that song since we recorded it.Im not sure if i even have a copy of it."Down By The Pond With Linda" certainly was not a remake of "The Islander" but im going to see if i have a copy and listen to it and see if that song was in my subconcience for about 45 years.LOL. Hey Ralph and Richard you dont have to worrey about a remake of "Stamp Out The Beetles".I think its a little late for that.LOL
  P.S.Ralph i read your book and really enjoyed it.It really brought back some great memories that i totally forgot about from the "Sunliner" days.Those were some of the best and FUN days of our lives huh Ralph. I loved your book! Susie said to tell you that she is looking forward to meeting you some day, hopefully soon, and make sure you let us know if your in town; so we can hook-up. GOD bless.Gil

Gil,
Yeah, the Sunliner days were a blast. If you guys are going to be playing in my area at some time, let me know. Glad you enjoyed the book.

Here is a little piece of trivia for you. Do you remember where we were when Fred and I first approached you about joining the band?

What has always puzzed me Gil is why did we decide to meet at the library? I'm sure there were a ton of other familiar places we could have met.

Hi Ralph. You guys asked were we could meet and i suggested the library. Im not sure why except i think i just wanted you guys to think i was studious.LOL That was one of the very few times i was in a library. LOL Maby it was also because it was close to my parents house.

Gil,
If you were trying to confirm your intelligence at that time it must have worked. You were always one of the smartest guys I ever had the pleasure of knowing. Plus, for openers you had the baddest 56 Ford Sunliner in Detroit. The fact that you played a hot sax was just frosting on the cake.
