The 31st of February consisted
of Charles Scott Boyer (vocals, 12-string guitar, songwriter),
David Brown (bass guitar, tenor saxaphone, songwriter)
and Butch Trucks, Jr. (drums, songwriter). Recorded
at Henry Stone’s studio in 1968 and produced by
Steve Alaimo and Brad Shapiro. They first recorded at
Henry Stone’s original upstairs eight-track studio.
The 31st of February album, produced by Alaimo &
Shapiro, yielded one of Florida’s greatest rock
gems, “Sandcastles.” “Sandcastles”
was an incredible, haunting masterpiece filled with
the sound of seagulls, surf and a hypnotic organ riff.
During the sessions, the trio utilized the great talents
of south Florida musicians Benny Latimore and Bobby
Puccetti on organ.
Butch Trucks, Jr. became the drummer for the legendary
Allman Brothers Band. Charles Scott Boyer formed the
band Cowboy. David Brown went on to join Boz Scaggs.
Boyer, Brown and Trucks, Jr., who are, without a doubt,
master musicians from Florida’s “Sandcastle
Land” have appeared on countless recordings by
various artists.
