Background
Chip Davis..After touring with the Norman Luboff Choir, he took a job with an Omaha, Nebraska, advertising agency of Bozell & Jacobs, Inc. writing jingles. These included spots for a local company, Metz Bakery, featuring the fictional trucker C. W. McCall.The spots were co-written with the advertising writer William Fries, who became the voice of McCall. The spots were so popular that they were persuaded to begin writing non-advertising songs featuring McCall. The song Convoy reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 the week of January 10, 1976, using CB slang during the CB/trucker fad. The duo released five albums between 1974 and 1979. Davis was named SESAC Country Music Writer of the Year in 1976.
Davis founded Mannheim Steamroller in 1974 to showcase his interest in fusing modern popular and classical techniques
An Omaha, Nebraska talent head songwriter and musical group. Mannheim Steamroller known mainly now for its Christmas Albums and Concerts
The records was followed by seven additional albums in the Fresh Aire series. Each of the first four Fresh Aire albums is based on a season; Fresh Aire's theme is Spring. (There is some evidence that this theme may have been imposed upon the album after the fact, as the rest of the series progressed, since the liner notes for this album clearly link each of the 12 tracks to the 12 months of the year.)
Besides the eponymous seventh tune, several of the track names are played on musical terms denoting the form of that song. The Composer Chip Davis refers to his music as "18th century rock and roll."
This what I’m looking for words/lyrics to be written to the instrumental song titled
"Sonata" – 2:32
You can you tube it. This song is from the 1st Fresh Aire Album
A song written and arranged by Chip Davis. "Sonata" – 2:32
