Live at Sand Harbor State Park, Lake Tahoe, NV
Live performance, August, 2014; original CD release, November, 2015
"On a rainy night at Sand Harbor a small but enthusiastic audience, braving the elements, inspired the band and singers to bring the funk. We hadn’t planned on making this recording into a CD but when I listen to the rough mixes I knew it was special and had to be shared. I hope you agree!" -- Chuck Reider, RJO President
