FUZZY GRAY BACKGROUND...It all started on a cold, damp, gray day in the fall of '88. I was hanging out on a kids swing set while waiting for John Tabacco to show up for our first writing session over at BACKDOOR RECORDING STUDIOS (that's another whole story). Anyway, he was a bit late and I was starting to wonder if it was going to happen at all that day. Well it did. We wrote "THE CLONE SONG" and FGL was born...well at least the idea was conceived. Our styles clicked immediately and soon the joy of recording together permeated our lives. As we forged onward, a sound became apparent and it was time to get other musicians involved. Donna Bach, a singer songwriter with whom I had collaborated over the years, began contributing vocals as well as some lyrics and melodies. Other players who have found themselves recording and or playing live with us, for not a lot of money I might add, have included : Gerry Palisi, electric guitar, Todd Reynolds, violin (in between European jaunts with Steve Reich), Drew Zingg (of Steely Dan Orchestra fame) on guitar, Todd Turkisher (drummer for David Byrne), Lady Gaga's bass guitarist Mitch Cohn and guitarist, friend and Tuesday morning 90.1 WUSB disc jockey Jim Dexter.
We thank them and everybody else who have been kind enough to participate in our musical endeavors. 3 Cheers

Thank you to our musical cohorts and friends who have encouraged loved and supported (and we do mean supported) our music throughout the years. Special thanks to our families, who in addition to the above, have also mostly refrained from suggesting we get "REAL JOBS". MM/JT
