About This Title

These re-recordings of early songs are dedicated to all my European friends, past and present, who have inspired me to revisit my creative output of that time (60’s - 70’s) and to perform them again in concert over the last few years. Some tunes are from my first folk group ‘Jack’s Angels’ in Austria, while others are fresh versions of songs that have made it onto European pop charts. Added into the mix are remakes of songs I’ve released on some of my children’s CD’s that fit into the theme of ‘Life Boat’ or this ‘journey of my life’. Here are 4 audio samples.

Jack Grunsky: vocals, guitars, drums, percussion, berimbau, piano, keyboards, mouth harp, accordion, melodion, ukelele, string arrangements, keyboard bass
Henry Heillig: bass
Hertha Grunsky: vocals
Cosima Grunsky: backing vocals
Carina Atwood: backing vocals
