* Mike Hutchens : "Before the Alliance, All four of us were in the Jazz fusion band
'Montage' here" in Nashville, which was formed in 1976.
I did not play on these demo recordings listed above, nor did any
of the other
members of the Alliance to my knowledge. Peter called me during
their recording and
asked me to come up and replace all of the solo's because according
to him 'we can't
find anybody that plays like you can'. Unfortunately at that time I
had just gotten
married and was flat broke and couldn't afford the plane ticket so
I had to let it go.
We did record a 4 song demo here in Nashville with all of us
playing on it. (including
Stan Penridge)".
NOTES :
Produced by Stan Penridge.
Recorded late summer / fall 1984.
further details unknown.
