Joe Glisson

Michael Ryan (left) composed the contemporary classical music that accompanies Color Really Doesn't Matter. He is also the voice of the guitar in this piece. How does he write a song? Michael says "I'll have a feeling that my fingers play." Michael lives in Southern California where he and Adam continue to compose and produce new CD's through Villa-Loba Music. Michael says that growing up he had a favorite pet, a huge brown dog named CC. His favorite color is purple.

Adam Kaplan (right) who plays the flute in this piece has loved music since he was a child. When he was three years old his mother heard him singing a piano concerto in the bathtub. A professional flutist and composer, Adam also lives in Southern California. Adam's favorite childhood pet was a big gray and white cat that his father dubbed, "Freddie the Freeloader." His favorite color changes all the time depending on...well just depending.
