I'll gladly post the info here as soon as I find out. I'm anxious to get a copy myself. So far, all I've seen is the CD booklet proofs and it looks good. You can hear samples on the band's MySpace page, by the way... for those expecting exotica, it's actually more Hawaiian/Hapa Haole and kind of reminds me of old Leo Addeo records at times... As for the April Wine member playing with the band... well, maybe not a full-fledged member of AW but someone who played with the band at some point? The Mai Tai Orchestra can get as big as 18-20 members for certain performances and a lot of local musicians get involved.
