Guest Chaney Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 I know what you're thinking: the marriage ceremony was okay, lots of love and all that crap, but THE BAND! What can I do to hear that band one more time?! Well, no longer is it necessary to get divorced and remarry or consider polygamy as, for your listening pleasure, I present... An Evening With The Transitones Featuring the Duo Vocal Team of Henry and Maria Forschino Up this week is a curious little album by The Transitones, a combo that according to the liner notes, was a favorite in southwest Florida in the early eighties. The album is mainly a showcase for the song writing, keyboard, and vocal talents of Henry Forschino who along with song writing partner Rick Lynge, contributes six original tunes. Mr. Forschino’s (I’m assuming) wife backs her husband up with some husky harmonies, and the group is rounded out by Joseph Mignone on drums, Bert Hogan on trumpet (with a seriously wide vibrato), and Jimmy Byrd on guitar and bass. The overall effect creates an odd atmosphere where Casio keyboards meet Harry James imitators, Les Paul style guitar playing coexists with cheesy string synths, and television theme songs are reborn as cabaret entertainment. There are a couple of minor skips and it doesn’t sound like the master recording was the best, but overall the album is in pretty good shape and enjoyable. Have fun and as always, Enjoy! Want to recharge your love for that gal you married? Download this one and play it again and again and again and I guaranty that your better half will be expressing her emotions almost immediately!
