True stories about the kids I grew up with in Astoria, NY (truth IS stranger than fiction!).

In 1964 everyone began transitioning from Doo Wop to newer sounds that were flooding the AM airwaves. This is one of our first "transition" songs - newer sounding, but with still a hint of Doo Wop harmonies.

Of the bazillion versions, I always thought the 1954 version by The Cadillacs was the best. So, that's what our cover was faithful to (even to adding the brief organ crescendo at the very end). Hope you enjoy.

Life Is But A Dream Life Is But A Dream

This is our cover of the Harptones' 1955 classic. Since the group's uptown harmonies are quite different from the standard Doo Wop harmonies, I was pleased at how this turned out.

Wonderful Girl Wonderful Girl

Found a tape with a number of tunes we covered from several doo wop groups/songs we admired. This one is of the Five Satins' 1956 classic "Wonderful Girl".
