One of the (many) disadvantages of being a musician of a certain age is that musical trends of yesteryear often return, like jury duty or inflation, and only serve to remind you how much you hated them the first time.

OTOH, the whole Yacht Rock thing...we actually thought that music was pretty darn good, with or without irony. Hence today's selection, which marks not only our first voyage on the smooth seas of Yacht Rock, but our first attempt at an artist style parody.

Capturing the vocal style of our chosen artist (if we have to say who, we've entirely failed) was the single factor preventing me from unleashing this years ago, because I knew it couldn't be done without the perfect voice. We are thrilled to feature vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Rick Cowling, whose own yacht-club pedigree with acts such as Kenny Loggins and Ambrosia stands above reproach. And Mrs. Cowling - actress/singer Sherry Hursey - was kind enough to help out on some high notes. Hope you enjoy the cruise!

Rick Cowling - lead and background vocals, funky guitar, tambourine

Sherry Hursey - background vocals

Bob Emmet - keyboards, bass, rhythm stuff, and mixing (music and Mai Tais).
