Nostalgic Love Song EPs

Near-term Projects

Target for releasing our 1^st EP in the Nostalgic Love Songs series is Fall 2026. Songs for the initial EPs are being developed from materials on our back master tapes, some privately released, and some not. We are rerworking the original recordings by:

• Digitally post production processing vocals;
• Augmenting piano only accompaniments by adding string bass and drums;
• Replacing pre-recorded accompaniments (and some vocals);
• Remixing; and
• Remastering.

We are moving along well on a upgrading and augmenting a number of previous recordings. The results promise artistic and professional quality for public release. Some technical issues are taking longer to resolve, and for a number of reasons mixing is moving slower than anticipated. To preview planned content of each of the near term EPs, click on the following working titles for planned EP collections:

1. Chattanooga Choo Choo EP (Fall 2026)
2. Twelfth of Never EP (possibly late Fall 2026)
3. There I've Said It Again EP (likely 2027)
4. I Am the Starlight EP (likely 2027)
5. Spanish Is the Loving Tongue EP (likely 2027)

For those interested, we prepared additional details about several of the songs planned for inclusion in the above EPs. Click Advanced Song Reviews.

Mid-term Projects

We previously recorded the following love duets from the 80's and 90's, popularized by movies and Broadway showa. (Working title for that project was Romantic Duets.) As with all our back catalogue, we are digitally upgrading them. These recordings used karaoke accompaniments, which will be replaced, as well as some vocals. They will be released as part of additional EPs in the Nostalgic Love Songs series. Song titles include:

• Beauty and the Beast
• Music of the Night
• Somewhere Out There
• That's All I Ask of You
• Whole New World
• With Just One Look in Your Eyes
• You Don't Bring Me Flowers

New Nostalgic Love Songs

Our research is identifying a long list of old nostalgic love songs we will draw from to continue this series of EPs. Immediate examples of somewhat newer nostalgic love songs we plan to include are:

"Perhaps Love" - by John Denver ©1981 (duet)

"Eres Tu" - by Juan Carlos Calderón ©1973 (Lead with chorus)

"Rainbow Connection" - by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher ©1979 (It was first done as a duet in 1980) (I’d prefer doing it as duet, with banjo as the lead instrument.)

"All I Know" - by Jimmy Webb ©1973 (I like the duet version with Linda Ronstadt) (FYI - Should be in a lower key for me)

FYI - Christmas Songs

We are planning the list of songs to include in our 1^st nostalgic Christmas song EP. Hopefully it will be available for late Fall of 2026. See the detailed page for Nostalgic Christmas songs.
