About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorThe FarAway Ensemble is the band that never was. FarAway actually has two meanings. Andrew, in Japan, was faraway from his two partners Frankie and Mr. R.B., in Canada. Also, FAR could be seen as an acronym for Frankie, Andrew, and Mr. R.B., the three players in this project.

Anyway, these are merely demos. If anyone, is interested in recording any of this material, drop a line.

Other than that, this website is simply for posterity's sake, and the hope that it may shine a light, however, humble in the world.

In the meantime, enjoy the tunes.

Love & Peace,

Andrew

"As High As The Moon (1992)" has just been uploaded.
This is not Faraway Ensemble. It is Billy Freedom, Dan Hart, and produced by yours truly. Unfortunately, this version has not been released. I'll upload a clip of it in the next week or so, so please check back.

I did several songs with my Okinawa friends.
We were known as the Okinawa Day Eyes.
It was a lot of fun, and everyone was in it for the love of it.

Nothing like working with like-minded souls...

True friends are a treasure. I love you, Okinawa Day Eyes, forever.
