It wasn't until last year, when Paul found himself sitting alone, staring at the
walls of his empty Hell's Kitchen apartment; after ending his five year
relationship a few months before the scheduled wedding, that he decided to
record at Don Pipers Between the Trains Studio (Guster, The Lilys, Sam Champion)
and make the record he'd always been hesitant to make. "As much as I loved
writing songs, I still thought of myself as an actor. I was reluctant to commit
them to record, but I knew I had to. They were all I had left." Together they
assembled an incredible cast of local musicians and blended them into a cohesive
unit to flesh out The Oxygen Ponies powerful compositions. The line-up included:
Paul, Don (A Don Piper Situation, Syd Straw), Steve Salad (King of France) on
baritone guitar, David Roland on electric guitar, Konrad Meissner (Girl Friday,
The Silos) on drums, Matt Durant (Rana) on piano, Len Small (A D.P. Situation,
Koester) on bass, Matt Horn (A D.P. Situation) on clarinet and organ and Ray
Sapirstein (A D.P. Situation) on trumpet.
