A Duet by Linda Chase and Mike Livingston

An AMAZING singer, performer, keyboardist, producer... the list goes on.
We've been friends for YEARS and always wanted to record together.
So, here you go...
This is Linda's instrument track. We recorded our vocals in my studio.
Then I came up with a rather silly idea.
Silly indeed!!

A Duet by Sue Drougas (at the time) and Mike Livingston
(Recorded in 2006)
Sue is not only a fantastic singer, but she's also a wonderful person!!
I first met Sue through the late Prof. Rick Manning.
They were performing as a duo and wanted me to record a demo for them.
I was VERY impressed with Sue's natural vocal style, and I definitely wanted her to help me out with this stuff and more.
It was Sue's idea to record "Baby..."!!
I agreed wholeheartedly!!!

I'm playing all of the instruments except for the trumpet.
That was performed by my old high school friend Walt "Wally" Trachim, who at the time was my downstairs neighbor!!
Small world huh?
(Great job Wally!!!)

Speaking of Carl Ayotte!
