Angela Stewart - Could I Have This Dance

This was a song that Glenn and I wrote about being in a long term relationship: the challenges of keeping things fresh and avoiding taking anything or anybody for granted. It is based on a real life relationship.

Once again, I am playing all the instruments on the track: with the exception of the Spanish style Nylon 6 String Guitar which was performed by Guitar virtuoso Fred Schreuders of the Jazz group Hiroshima.  

When Fred lived in Hawaii, I used to play in his Jazz Fusion group "Attitude" with David Choy, Dave Inamine and Jess Gopen. Fred got called to put together a band to backup Glenn Medeiros for a concert at Blaisdell Arena: so the members of "Attitude" backed him onstage and that was the very first time that Glenn performed onstage with a live band.

After a slew of long rehearsals at the Musician's Union for the concert, Glenn's manager from New York mentioned to me that Glenn was going to sit in with Cecelio Rodrigues at the Hyatt (the hotel sponsor) and said that if I wasn't busy, to stop by.  I went home to drop off my equipment  and was exhausted after a long day - I really wasn't in the mood to drive all the way back to Waikiki but I grabbed one keyboard and headed back into town.

When I arrived at the Hyatt, it was a mob scene and as I got closer to the stage, I saw Glenn and his manager with a panicked look on their faces: Cecelio's band didn't know any of Glenn's songs and there were hundreds of people there to hear Glenn sing.  Imagine the look of relief when they spotted me and my keyboard to save the day. 

The next day, Glenn's manager (the VP of Amherst Records) asked me to lunch at the Hau Tree Lanai.  As we sat down to eat, he told me: "Lester, are you ready to go with Glenn to Europe?"  Apparently, he called his Dad (the President of Amherst) and said that there's this kid on keyboards here that has all the sounds off Glenn's records. That's where my stint as Glenn's keyboard player/Musical Director all started: I was the only one from Hawaii and the rest of the band was from New York.

Here's some trivia for you: 
1) Did you know that I introduced Glenn to his wife Tammy? They have 2 children: Chord and Lyric
2) On this song "We Don't Say I Love You" was the very first time that Glenn ever sang in his falsetto in the recording studio: listen to the very last lines of the song to hear it.
