    In the year 2000 we started doing some dates with complete symphony orchestras backing us. The charts were written by Larry Baird (of Moody Blues Maestro fame), and he would also conduct in each of the cities where we did the symphony shows. Larry is such a huge talent it is hard to define the depths of his abilities. He wrote every single chart for every instrument in the symphony. Think on that just a bit and see if it doesn't bring a "gulp" to your throat.

   His genius in expression, using different sections of the orchestra is amazing. A very personable guy, Larry and the band have become good friends. The number of symphony shows are increasing due to public response, and we look forward to seeing you at one of them. In fact, the band has a new DVD with the Tennessee Symphony Orchestra that is being released on May 21, 2002 worldwide. Also being released is a CD that features the London Symphony Orchestra recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London. The following is promotion from the Internet for these two projects.
