The album, which was released Oct. 18, contains 18 tracks of Grasso’s original recordings of classical guitar pieces, and took 16 months to create with recording in the summer and between teaching guitar classes.

“For a finished CD product, it took 16 months of on and off (more off than on) running around to complete it,” Grasso says. “During the summertime is when I do most of my creating of music.”

Grasso is hosting a record release party for his new album on Nov. 5 from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Davis in Davis, Calif.

Former City College student and Express newspaper designer Kepi Ghoulie is a very joyful person, he sees fun everywhere. He wrote his new album “Life Sentence” (2009) where he is playing a guitar and drums “… if this music makes people happy, than that’s amazing”.

Moreover, Kepi is an artist and drew the CD cover himself. “It’s primitive, but people like it,” said Kepi.
