There is a strange phenomenon that happens to islanders from time to time.  Suddenly, or in a slow buildup, you can’t stand the physical confinement of the island.  You just have to leave for a period of time.  To some, this time period can be small; to others it is of a more permanent nature … you then just come back to the island to visit.

The music on this CD has a lot to do with this phenomenon of Island Fever, as  examples: “Leaving for the Mainland,” “Another Place, Another Time,” “Spanish Flea,” “Ay Mama,” and “C’est La Vie.”

Some of the other songs reflect a desire to do something on the mainland that perhaps you can’t do on the island: “El Rancho Grande,” “Mardi Gras Madness,” “Makes Me Want to Dance,” “Playing on the Beach,” “Dancing Down the Boardwalk,” and “Peace in the Valley.”
