Emilio Castillo recently produced, played sax, and sang on a CD called LOOKIN’ AT TOMORROW, for Mark Dolin, a multi-instrumentalist from the Phoenix area. Also on the disc are members of the TOP team: David Garibaldi on drums, road manager Raymond McKinley on bass, and Mike Bogart on trumpet and trombone. The horns were superbly arranged by T.O.P. horn arranger Dave Eskridge, and all the guitar parts were played by Bill Moio.
