First album, originally released 1995
41 tracks, over 70 mins of music
Recorded live in the studio with 40 really drunk people in the audience
A tour de force of garage rock, jazz, boozy saloon songs (some of them in Italian), monologues and more...
Includes "Chet Baker's Cigarette" which received some college play, plus a cover of the Kinks "Ring The Bells"

The 1st Ralph CD, Coffee, Jazz & Poetry, made the Top 20 on the Chart magazine college chart.

The CD is 70 minutes and 41 tracks of jazz, lounge, poetry and stuff! It has garnered a lot of reviews from many college zines as well as a devoted following of beat-sters.

The CD was recorded and mixed in two days from start to finish, mirroring the old 50's-60's recording ethos.

"Finger snapping good!" — ROCTOBER, Chicago

"Chet Baker, British Beat Music, Lolita and French gargoyles get the full treatment. A cross between The Ramsey Lewis Trio and Vince Guaraldi." — KULTURE DELUXE, LA

"From Dean Martin to Ginsberg to The Kingsmen. This disc is a party waiting to happen." — CHEESEBALL, Boston

"Should be in every coffeehouse in the planet..." — FLIPSIDE
