Hi Everyone!  Very excited about our upcoming CD.  Here is a quick, 5-song medley that I put together.  Hopefully, you can get an idea of what we’ve done with these recordings.

Hi Everyone!

The Toy Trains will be back at The Mississippi Pizza Pub tomorrow (Saturday, June 18th) with a later than usual start time of 6PM.  We’ll play until 6:45 or 6:50 and then my adult band “Vince Schreck & The Expendables” will take over.  It’s really the same band playing my “adult” music, so we’ll be a bit louder, but it’s still suitable for older kids.  It’s $5.00 for anyone over 12 years.  Hope you can make it!
