Sunday we we treated to a very special radio program hosted by Jerry Sharell on KGIL. His guests were Herb & Lani and they were on for 1 hour and 20 minutes live in the studio premiering their new CD. The show was obviously taped before the postponed East Coast tour right after the Vibrato shows. They kept referencing the upcoming tour. We were treated to 10 of the 14 tracks played in their entirety. With great questions and answers before and after each track. Great job by Jerry Sharell.
This CD will be well worth the wait. They didn't explain where each take was recorded at and I don't know if that info appears in the liner notes of the official CD.
I see a Promo Copy was bid up to $50 yesterday on eBay! See Herb & Lani - just look at the "buzz"
I hope one of our members was the winning bidder! Steve?
