MONARCH TRAIL - "Skye"
When keyboard player/vocalist Ken Baird had written some music which seemed to require more collaborative arrangements than usual, he asked drummer Chris Lamont and Bassist Dino Verginella if they'd be willing to be a part of "Monarch Trail". Lamont had played on Baird's previous three albums and Verginella on the previous two, so it was a natural thing that it could be called a group. The first stage was to set up several rehearsals for the trio to work on arranging the new pieces. Important changes were made to the charts; an extra set of bars here, a new melody line there, a different tempo over there and so on. Even more importantly, these rehearsals also turned out to be a ton of fun with no lack of shenanigans!...
