John Longbottom – “Some Folk Old, Some Folk New” – 1984 – Vinyl. John's first solo album featuring the amazing and sadly late Jimmy Arnold on fiddle. Plus, not only the beginings of “The Sons of The Swiss Navy” – Gerry Rothschild, Peter Bonta and John - but also a long and fruitful friendship and working relationship.

“Chesapeake, man & the bay” – circa 1985. A made-for-local-cable video. Peter, Gerry and I produced, recorded and wrote some of the music for the sound track and “The Sons of the Swiss Navy” were born.
