From the cover notes: Paul Smith… an imaginative and gifted keyboard man who wandered away from home in his youth as a ward of the daring and stimulating arranger-orchestra leader, Johnny Richards. Piano, organ, celeste, harpsichord, and that little wonder of the chimes family, the keyboard glockenspiel – Paul has imposed his musicianship on each and the result have won him wide recognition as a radio, television and recording artist.

Inventive, light, fun and jazzy space age pop arrangements.
