Awesome!
Produced by Roy Halee and the duo!
Engineered by Halee!
“Halee discovered that the uniqueness of Simon & Garfunkel harmonies could only be achieved by recording both voices on the same microphone at the same time.”
Brilliant!
Not to mention this gorgeous music! – with Larry Knechtel on piano…

I was there, standing stage right. I spent most of the day with Mick Ronson. Later, I played the organ (B3) with Queen and Liza Minnelli. Now I shiver!

The amazing Emily Richards, recorded one of my songs for her Valhalla album, that I produced some part of, at Drumroll Studios in Burbank.
For me, the song is about the sacrifice, that the rest of the world makes, to allow the Western world to live the high life!
Sacrifice features Emily on vocals and piano. Danny Halperin on drums. Yours truly on other things.
Here is a youtube link and a Spotify link to Sacrifice!
And the fantastic Emily song Surrender, with the incredible “one-take” drums and bass of Randy Cooke and Jon Button:
