CD cover insert
Wilma Kniep and Ron Dawes have been working together for some time with the
objective of producing a CD that truly reflects their musical abilities. Several formats
have been tried and this CD represents the best of them.
Wilma likes the simple combination of piano and voice. It is uncomplicated and
allows her more scope to interpret the lyrics and control pitch and timing without
interference. Someone to Watch over me and But Beautiful are good examples
of this.
Dindi was recorded earlier in the year.and uses synthesised orchestration as
well as piano for the backing.
Derek Phillips, a fine guitar player is brought in to the sessions for Satin Doll,
Moon River and In the Wee small Hours of the Morning.
Ron plays syn/bass.
It is obvious that Wilma, Ron and Derek were very relaxed on these recording
sessions and voice, piano, guitar and bass are free-flowing and interact with each
other very well.
All the arrangements are by Ron and Derek. Ron is the sound engineer and CD
producer too. He also does all the graphics and photographs.
This is just a sampler album. They plan more tracks shortly which should result in a
full length album very soon. We hope you enjoy this example of their undoubted
musical skills.
