Speaking of Brian Auger he has a new CD out called "Voices of Other Times" and it is exceptional. Brian's daughter Savannah sings on the CD and his son Karma plays drums; both are very talented musicians. Brian as usual does a superb job playing all keyboards including his Hammond B-3. I highly recommend this CD; every cut is very good.
