I thought I'd share this as it's such a great song and so true. This my pal, Joe Brucato, who is a colossal bad ass. He had Steve Gadd and Tony Levin on his last record…..anyway, this is out on Conesus Lake in western NY from a few days ago. What a great song for summer's day, and his voice is ridiculous. Enjoy-

Re: Song for a summer's day
Nice. Thanks for sharing. You're right, he has a killer voice. Excellent box playing.
Re: Song for a summer's day
Wow. That was... pure. Great song and voice, and Todd, it's been said before, but you are such a class act.
It just goes to show, all you need is an acoustic guitar, a Honda cardboard box and a nice summer's day!
Brings to life fond memories of Gadd on that Ampex box...

Sounds great, and your box playing was very tasteful!
By chance is he related to Bruce Brucato, who played guitar with local Buffalo fusion juggernaut "Gamalon" in the late 80's/early 90's?
I used to love to watch that band..... Ted Reinhardt is a great drummer, and it was only after talking to him that i found he played on the great Spyro Gyra album, "Morning Dance"
(Check out last song, End of Romanticism)

I met Ted back in the late 80s. Such an amazing, sincere, and humble guy. And man, what an amazing drummer!
Nice work Todd.

Re: Song for a summer's day
Thanks for the kind words and glad you all dug this….and Joe really is incredible. And a great human being to boot.
Benny---not sure about the relation to Bruce Brucato--but Joe is from Rochester which isn't far from Buffalo. I know Joe's dad is Chuck Brucato who was in the Rustix which was the first white band signed to Motown I believe.
Thanks for checking it out and hope you are all having a lovely summer-
Todd
Oh, and here's one more if you are interested--- from the same day with my wife Taylor joining us…

Re: Song for a summer's day
I'm not a fan of the Honda box sound.
Husqvarna and even Lawn-Boy boxes have such better tone. Higher quality cardboard, better ink and all.
What.

jk. Awsome tune and playing, Todd!
