“As a former Orlando resident, I’m very familiar with the
high level of musical talent that town has to offer. Thus it was no surprise
that this record grooved me, moved me, and made me smile! Anchored by the
rock-solid groove of the mighty Ron Cangro, (someone I’m blessed enough to not
only be friends with, but worked with regularly during my O-town years) these
cats bring the groove hot sauce, and if you like David Sanborn, Spyro-Gyra,
Scott Henderson & Tribal Tech, and the Yellowjackets, you will LOVE this
record!! ~Tim Akers, Nashville, TN
