In October 2012 Bryan got a call from his friend Harris Goldberg, a writer-director-producer based in Los Angeles. At the time, Harris was developing a television series about a fictional pre-Beatle-era band, and he needed some original, period-sounding music. I read the script and I really liked it.

Bryan and I tossed some ideas back and forth, predominently channelling Buddy Holly, The Beatles, Roy Orbison and the Everly Brothers. We came up with two songs: "You Belong To Me" and "Don't Even Try".

A few weeks later Bryan happened to be in Los Angeles, and Harris asked Bryan to join him for dinner. Harris also invited another friend of his, Jeff Lynne.

During dinner Jeff asked Bryan what he was working on lately, and Bryan mentioned the songs we'd recently written for Harris's project. One thing led to another - Jeff heard the songs, he liked them, and he offered to produce them! From there, the rest of the album followed -- a song here, a song there -- over a two year period.  No band ... just Jeff, Bryan, me, and Jeff's audio engineer, Steve Jay. 

It was a fun way to make a record. We'd send audio files back and forth by email, trying diffferent things until we got it right.  No deadline, no pressure. In fact, there's a line in one of the songs on the album that pretty much sums it up:  "Do you wanna start a revolution, or do you just wanna have some fun?".

The answer is:  we just wanted to have some fun.  And we did!
