Silver Laughter 1976 – Jon, Carl, Ken, Paul and Mick

“Don’t Want To Lose”

This is the third song on “Sailing On Fantasies”, the second Silver Laughter album, written and sung by Ken Wiles. It was a blast to work on the arrangement together! It developed over weeks as we layered parts upon parts. Once we were happy with our parts, Robert Parker took the mix and added strings and horns in another studio in Des Moines.

The photo is another outtake from the Worthington collection taken with the camera of Art “Smart”, or Gus, as Paul used to call him. That’s where the credit for Gus Skamera came from on the album. Sound and light man, Carl Frisch, is featured in this one. Hey, Ken, open your eyes, will you?
