For
almost twenty five years now classic rockers Switch have been a staple
of the Western New York music scene. They seem to have played at every
festival, lawn fete, beer tent and concert venue in the area. They also
have a CD available documenting some of their best material titled After
All These Years. The band, John Connelly-bass/vocals, Steve Connelly-drums/vocals
and Tom Lorentz-guitar/keys/vocals, are augmented here by the horn section
of Mike DiGiacomo-sax, Ray Skalski-trombone and Nelson Starr-trumpet. The
disc is a mix of originals and covers including Chicago's "Beginnings",
The Beatles "Drive My Car" and Huey Lewis' "Workin' for a Livin"". Originals
include "Six F's of Life", "My Father's Son" and the beautiful Lorentz
composition "It's Over". To pick up a copy of After All These Years and
