*Dan played all the instruments on this album. The "session players" were his little joke:
Roland Laboite/drums: the drum machine Dan used was made by Roland Corporation. La boite is French for “the box.”
Donny Trout/bass: Trout. Bass.
Sven Birkebeiner/keyboards: Skiers call their skis "boards". Dan was proud of his Swedish ancestry and loved Nordic history. As a Nordic skier himself, Dan especially liked the story of the Birkebeiner soldiers who skied young Prince Haakon from Lillehammer to Østerdalen during the winter of 1206, helping to end many years of civil war. Sven-Åke Lundbäck and Sven Utterström were two great Swedish Nordic racers.
Lee Mealone/percussion: a reference to Dan’s reputation for being a recluse: Leave me alone.
And we are but
an island
In an ocean
This is our home
Third from the sun
Let it be evergreen
Let it be evergreen
And we are but an island
In an ocean
This is our home
Third from the sun
God, keep it evergreen
To keep it ever green
I would lay my life down
And we are but an island
In an ocean
This is our home
Third from the sun
Let it be evergreen
Let it be evergreen
