In High School, a friend of mine, multi-talented musician extraordinaire Phil Stone, wrote a song and invited me to supply a sax solo.  Delighted and honored, of course I said yes.  On a warm spring day in Louisville, KY, we recorded the song on a 4-track recorder in the home studio of one of Phil's fellow band members.

Beware!  The catchy tune will stay with you all day.

For chuckles, crank up the volume and listen carefully to the words of Sharon Hirschler just before the drum machine kicks off the song.  We decided to keep the accidentally recorded utterance.  Yeah, such is art.

Here's a more recent photo of Phil in his own home studio: 

Enjoy!

You don't know what you do to me, girl
With just one touch I have to be in your world
Say not a word, just let me speak with my eyes
One night of fantasy, without compromise

Sighing with every breath, I don't know what to say
  Tell me what I want to hear, I can make you stay

CHORUS:
  Stephanie, let me love ya all night long
  Stephanie, don't do me wrong

Speaking in whispers is just too good to last
I just can't imagine you as a part of the past
Say not a word, just let me speak with my eyes
And feel my force, it always satisfies

Sighing with every breath, I don't know what to say
  Tell me what I want to hear, I can make you stay

CHORUS

SAX SOLO

Sighing with every breath, I don't know what to say
  Tell me what I want to hear, I can make you stay

CHORUS

CHORUS

Za za za za za ree-eh, ooo-ree ooo-ree ooo,
Za za za za za ree-eh, ooo-ree ooo-ree ooo.
