*Miles Klee had just gotten back from studying abroad when the 2006 recording sessions started. Miles almost certainly made up parts on most of the songs we recorded then.
*I was the music director during the Winter Study 2006 recording sessions, but then I went abroad right after we finished recording. I found out the name of the album when Stephen Abbott emailed me the final cover art and the message, “We just thought this was the right name for the album.” To this day, I love that cover art, and am incredibly glad I was not involved in that process, because I’m sure I would have screwed it up.
*This album features three singers who attended high school together, and as college students, we all performed a jam at that high school during the winter of 2004. Those students? Sumana Cooppan Wolf ("Freedom 90"), Christine Kearsley ("59th St. Bridge Song"), and yours truly, Andy Eklund ("Silhouettes"). Amanda LaSane Ali ("Hard to Say I'm Sorry") grew up 13 miles away, and as I recall, she had fans in the audience as well.
*Attending this annual a capella jam at a high school auditorium outside of Boston was an annual tradition for several years.... until the high school cut its a cappella group. But numerous GQers from those years had sleepovers at the Hunt, Cooppan, and Eklund households. Only one year involved a terrible snow storm. And my parents are still talking about how much breakfast Karl Naden and Ellen Crocker were able to eat! It must have been the home cooking.
