Duane (Beans) Sousa – center

Duane and I first crossed paths during my ‘Baytown’ days when he sat in on various sessions and was also a contributing writer on the song… ‘Soul on Ice’.  Beans later went on to great success as a member of the Lacy J Dalton Band.  He now has some fantastic music out on his own.  I have included on this post, one of his tunes from his new CD titled, ‘Welcome back to Markleeville’.  Take a listen to this well crafted composition and I’m sure you will want to add this great CD  to your music collection.

LISTEN TO THESE FOUR REALLY

GREAT TUNES FROM BEANS NEW CD

   JIMMY-THE-BROOM

I have know Gary Raffanelli (picture – far right) the leader, manager and producer for Adbacadabra for many years.  We first met back in the late 60’s when his group ‘The Vandells’ recorded their first single at Baytown Records.  As a producer I had the good fortune of  utilizing his extraordinary keyboard talents on many recordings made at Baytown.

Now Gary is riding high on the overwhelming popularity of the hands down best ABBA tribute band in the world.  The group continually thrills audiences on many of the world’s finest Cruise Liners.   They also appear to ‘Sold Out’ audiences at many fine venues around the world.  So if you ever see that they are in your area, don’t hesitate to buy some tickets… You will be very happy that you did.
