With Valentine's Day falling dubiously on Ash Wednesday this year, I am reminded of a song I wrote in 1987 for the band I was in at the time, Hello Central. "Candy and Wine" was on our playlist until we broke up in 1989, but we'd never adequately recorded it.  Finally, co-bandmate Greg Galluccio and I reunited in April 1996 at Greg's studio, Bon Marche. Greg's intense production and virtuoso chops inspired my vocals and made this one of the best recordings in my collection. I hope you enjoy it!

Candy and Wine

In the Spring of 1988, Hello Central recorded a 3-song demo at Miracle Mile Studios in Manhasset, NY. The demo featured Dreamwalker, written and sung by Greg Galluccio. I particularly like Jeff Malmud's guitar; Tom Ryan's drum track sizzles as always, and I'm playing bass and singing background vocals...Phil
