I wanted this project to reflect some live music in strange quarantine times – there are a few new tunes and a couple that have new (killer) horn arrangements by Matt and Kent. Many thanks to all who have been involved with this labor of love – especially all of our spouses and families. Thanks to Ken Reinstrom for supporting the band’s summer 2020 “residence” at Byrnes, special mention to the “OG” AbdoMen (Tucker Woerner, we missed you). Thanks to Alex Roch for the original French name (loosely translated as “Midlife Crisis” – draw your own conclusions).
