"Originally this was a finished composition with another title, lyrics & melody. The song needed 'something' and brought it to one of the best co-writers and musicians that I've ever worked with; Bill Dumas. He took this song to another level and came up with an amazingly better melody & lyrical theme. " Thank you again Bill Dumas!

Lost Inside Her Smile (Remastered)

This fun song is originally on my 2nd LP "Out Of Bounds" and always loved the 'feel' of this MOR/West Coast meets Chicago flavored track.  My good friend, band mate and songwriter John Dayton had introduced me to MIDI & digital recording....I was slow to 'get it'. LOL  Among other songs, he had this awesome song idea recorded. I think I wrote  the intro & outro.  We took it to another good friend John Grant @ Secret Sound Studios and polished it up with some fantastic musicians. Enjoy!

This song came together very quickly; in a magical sense. A common story of 2 opposites making life 'work'. I had the groove of the song, with the lyrics, melodies, verse & chorus. Bobby amazingly added the perfect pre-chorus and bridge. This was the first track we cut at Ricky's studio for the awesome marathon recording sessions.
