CD coverWhen Ted decided to record his first album, one reason was to give Paul more recognition.

He asked Paul to pick tunes he would enjoy playing. The songs he chose included neglected gems such as Alfie and Hello Young Lovers. The resulting album, Beautiful Love, was released in 2007.

A Florida native, Paul received his music degree from Florida State University in Tallahassee, and is the long-time band director at Palm Springs Middle School in Palm Beach County.

The latter recording was engineered by Jean Bolduc, who also played drums on the date as well as on Beautiful Love.
