I didn't have bands that I was playing with growing up, so I learned to try to adapt and play these songs that were guitar songs on the piano, and sing them.

I was proud of the record and I wanted as many people as possible to hear it when I was done with it. The album was produced by Steve Lillywhite who also produced Phish's 1996 Billy Breathes album. - Since 2009 Page has been using a Moog Liberation (formerly owned by James Brown) when playing Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein" with Phish
