I first met Bob Seeley in 1982. I was playing in Metro Detroit, on a large stage for a big crowd on a bill that included Big Joe Turner and J.C. Heard. An usher approached me and mentioned that a gentleman wanted to meet me, and within the next hour or so, Bob and I were sharing a piano bench and improvising a four-handed boogie woogie for a few thousand people.

We've been close friends ever since. In fact, Bob refers to himself as my illegitimate father, and I call him Dad. We have played far and wide together over the years, and Bob has been a great example to me in so many ways. I feel fortunate to have been Bob's friend, and I'm really honored to do a project together after all these years with one of the absolute finest purveyors of classic piano blues and boogie.

The idea was this: Let's record a number of tunes that we both play in common, and include versions by each of us, one after the other. Hence the title, "back to back". We both hope that you enjoy.
