YANKEE
BASEBALL!!! CDs: THE HARMONIOUS FIVE CD:
Ed Alstrom (guitar), Dave Keyes (piano), Mark Berger (bass), Frank
Pagano (drums) - LEAD VOCALS: FP (track 5), MB (track 10), DK (track
15), EA (all others) ED'S ORGAN CD IS AVAILABLE TOO!!!  This is Ed's first CD featuring him on Hammond Organ, and here he is joined by the prodigious talents of Charlie Jones on guitar and Don Guinta on drums. The material is mostly originals by Ed, with a couple by Charlie, and 3 cover songs. Musically, it's all over the map (if you know Ed, you'd probably expect that it would be), and attempts to operate within the grand organ trio tradition while infusing it with a rawness and energy not always heard in that bag. It
is available for purchase at: revised 10/19/18
