Though I do have a free account on Spotify that I rarely make use of, I am an Apple Music subscriber and frequent listener. Just a while ago, a song came up on the AI-generated AOR/Westcoast playlist that I’d never heard before. And it was only when the tune’s solo started playing that I realized it was likely legendary record producer and guitar virtuoso Jay Graydon picking the strings. The band’s name is JaR and the song is Cure Kit Scene 29

At the time I was working on a new resurfaced piece for uncle Paul’s latest poem. So naming felt intuitively easy.
