Arranged by Rick Nowels and Gregg Alexander

In the summer of '86 I got a message on my answering sevice from a Mr. Alexander regarding production on a song for a movie. When I returned the call, the voice on the other end informed me that he was a 16 year oldsinger/musician from Grosse Point, Michigan who has 'thousands of songs' and would like me to produce one of them for, oh...why not a film soundtrack?

'Can you sand me a tape?'
'Well, I don't like to leave tapes around.'
'Okay, play me something over the phone.'
The next thing I knew, I was driving down the freeway to meet Mr.Alexander.
We sat in my car listening to his strange home demos, and after 15 minutes I told him we would make an album together.
Gregg has been in my life, studio and refrigerator for over two years. Now he's yours.
Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present the soundtrack to Gregg Alexander's home movie.
