In2 The Spirit

How it all began.... The 'IN2 the Spirit' album project started out 'just for fun' one Christmas when I recorded an arrangement of Little Drummer Boy so I could teach it to my 7 year old son on drums and piano. After a few years, I had finished quite a few 'for fun' demos and friends & colleagues started requesting that I turn it into a 'serious' Christmas album project....and.... now it has arrived! I've recorded with recorded some of the world's finest talent including Bill Payne from Little Feat, Will Lee from the David Letterman Show and Keith Carlock drummer for Sting, James Taylor and Steely Dan. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************** John Findlay-guitars.
