The CD Release Party was an overwhelming success: a superb band with FIVE horns, TWO drummer/percussionists, great guitar and bass, piano and B3, and a whole Gospel Choir!!!

The CD itself is outstanding, with all but two original songs which paint the whole R&B/Soul canvas.  It is available on the following website: Skipper Dean/Family Man/CD Baby for $20, and I have copies for sale.

Skip belongs to the full-package Soul Singer/Entertainer genre, the likes of which you don’t want to miss!

We had our first gig Sept. 19, and it was GREAT to be back together.  More to come!

(WOW!  Originally, we were intending to have a “couple of gigs” for old time’s sake, but the interest from club-owners has been overwhelming, so much so that we’ve had to hire another sax player to do most of the gigs!!!  (I just can’t come up to London that often…) )

Keep checking here for details.
