It would be easy to think that after 12 Workout CDs I should be running short on fresh titles to record, but that just doesn't seem to be the case in fact, the more tracks I find there are still loads more left!
I have again selected something from each decade and have finally succeeded in recording "Lady In Red" and "One Moment In Time". These have been requested ever since I started but for some reason I never seemed to get round to them.
As the non-Shadows title I have recorded the Focus version of "Sylvia" and finally, I could not finish this CD without including the 2004 live arrangement of "Apache/Riders In The Sky" which I just had to cover.
I hope that this CD will ofer something to players of all skill levels.
