A double album that celebrates the 25th anniversary of the first recording date of Sunnyside .
On April 9th 1982, Francois Zalacain while he was still working at IBM, decided to try his hand at producing a record with Harold Danko, at Chip Stokes' Penthouse studio and home on East End Avenue.
There had been a heavy snowfall and our Lincoln Continental coupe 1976 (the unconcievably large and oh so comforatble dream car of the recent immigrant) got stuck in the steep incline of the garage by the studio. Our friends who were visiting from the south of France, were bundled up in and eclectic bunch of borrowed garments to protect against the unexpected cold.

Who knew that what staretd as a "Why not?" 25 years later would have produced hundreds of records, few Grammy nominations, a Grammy win and most important many many friends?
