S.O.L. as they like to call it, is about combining individuality with completeness. Each musician plays strictly from their heart, what they hear in each song.
As the music comes together with individual ideas, they get personal completeness.
It’s the way they relate to each other musically. When you listen to S.O.L., you can hear everyone’s interpretation of each song.
Actually this was a series of fortunate events, one of those: one thing led to another: Dave wanted to have a CD of his own music just for fun. He would play all the instruments himself but he can't sing, so he set out to find people to do it with him.
He ran across his old friend Tim, and talked with him about the project. Tim was interested, so he wrote some lyrics and they got together and loved it.
As they were putting it together they would play what they had for other musicians Harry, Judy, and David. They loved each others interpretation and they found that common bond. They could just be themselves.
