We think instant Production Music — Volume 7 speaks for itself. So does the performing artist, Lonnie Knight,

"I began playing guitar and singing in high school and have been a professional performer since 1966. Worked in local rock bands until 1970 when I began performing as a soloist . . . In the last few years I have toured in Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania and other eastern states and virtually all of the midwest, playing colleges and clubs . . . Currently I divide my time between performing in a trio and working extensively as guitarist at Sound 80, doing album work, performing on and occasionally writing commercials, and drinking the coffee as fast as it can be made.
"I play acoustic and electric guitar, dulcimer, mandolin, fretless electric bass and harmonica. My voice can best be described as a high whiskey baritone, though I an sing most tenor things with a strong wind at my back, or if I am in extreme pain. I smoke two packs of cigarettes a day, worry constantly, own 3000 T shirts, and I am not rich.
"I have written several hundred songs — folk, rock and country — some of which are excellent, some of which are great charcoal briquette starters. In addition to music, I am an avid amateur photographer, fresh water aquarist and collector of matchbook covers (if you have or run across any from restaurants or night clubs in your area, please send them to me — they need to have matches in them). I like Mexican cooking, Jack Daniels on the rocks, and my favorite colors are flat black, Spanish oak, and abolone.
"All of the above can be verified." — Lonnie Knight

It was a pleasure to work with Lonnie in the production of IPM 7. If you like it . . . and let us know you like it . . . we'll get together again. — Don Voegeli
