You Make Me Want To Sing

"Guitarist Peter Sprague, either at the helm of his six-piece Dance of the Universe Orchestra or on his own, is one of the hottest new talents to come out of San Diego. I bet you his name will be popping up in Downbeat's critics' poll real soon. He's San Diego's premier guitarist, and he's finally getting the national exposure he deserves."

This recording marks the beginnings of the group Dance of the Universe. We were already playing a lot of gigs around and the thought of making a record seemed almost out of reach. The band's average age was 21 years old. We gathered the money, found a studio and we tracked six of our favorite tunes. This is a collector's item!
