Details:
Thomas Ventiquattro II (Tom 24) began learning to play the guitar at age 11, and wrote his first songs at age 13. Tom grew up in the late '60s/early '70s, and was influenced by groups such as the Bee Gees, America, Bread, Lobo and the Eagles. Tom states, "I was mesmerized by string orchestra-enhanced pop melodies and tight harmonies...the sounds of heaven." Listeners have compared Tom's vocals to Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb, Jose Feliciano and Tony Orlando.

"Twilight Blue Excursion" is a compilation of 15 works taken from an ongoing studio demo project that began in 1996. Tom 24 had been writing and performing (solo vocalist/guitar) for several years prior to this recording venture. Producer Dan "the magic man" Wills shared his many talents via bass, drums and keyboards...helping Tom discover the mellow sound he'd been searching for. In The fall of 2004, Earl Beecher of California based Morrhythm/Outstanding Records assisted Tom & Dan with the release of this CD.
