The Grand Style Orchestra (GSO) Remote Recording Project  began in March 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Once a month, orchestra leader Shorty Grapes sent a guide track to "core-chestra" members, who then performed and recorded an improvised track with their instruments at home. Each month, Shorty edited the final mix within a 48 hour window.  I have known GSO for many years because my husband, John Frentress/Johnny Buffalo, is a founding member. Under the pseudonym Anna Log, I created several music videos, in a similar spontaneous spirit, to accompany the music.

Musicians often included:
Capitol Buttercup - vocals, violins, mandolin
Cointel Joe - cornet
Gerdy Cuff - banjo
R. Monique Overton III - lap harp
Johnny Buffalo - trumpet
Mellow Tonin - bassoons
Peanut Butter Smalley - glockenspiel, percussion
Plucky Pickins - electric bass, percussion
Sam Handwich - vocals, Cambodian mouth harp, percussion
Shorty Grapes - Kurzweil electric piano
Sidney Rodney - synth
Skinny Antlers - guitar, space radio
Smudgie Bonkers - double bass, guitar, vocals
Floyd - flute, glockenspie
and many more!
