"Food For My Soul" Ninja Tune Records uncovers a psychedelic-pop album with a curiously circuitous back story. SCOTT THILL Published on November 15, 2007 “But maybe that stands to reason. The record was completed nearly four decades ago

It was nearing the end of the sixties’ decade. My brothers, Doug , Daryl and I were living in Malibu, surfing and gigging around the Los Angeles area in various bands including our own. We came from a very musical family; our father Carmen Dragon was a well known symphony conductor and arranger around Hollywood, our mother Eloise, a colaratura soprano singer and our two sisters, Carmen and Kathy played harp and flute respectively. I was the youngest of the brothers. I played drums and was dabbling with recording equipment and photography. My brothers played great keys. Daryl also played the vibes, bass, guitar and a few other instruments.

Dennis and Jeff Kaplan on bass.
