Hansford, Hal
Keyboardist from Palatka; moved to Orange Park in late 1960s, where he hooked up with rock band Richfield (who scored one single on Capitol, the novelty tune “Disco Sucks”). He later opened a recording studio in downtown Jacksonville’s Universal-Marion building (now JEA headquarters). Relocated to Miami in early 1980s, where he engineered records by Blood, Sweat & Tears and The Romantics (including their smash hits, “What I Like About You” and “Talking in Your Sleep”). Now operates his own recording service in Miami. Also see Richfield.
Yo Michael, Thanks for the kind words. It’s been awhile since seeing you, hope your doing well. People often say to me, your a member of the NFHOF, and I go yeah I’ve been around, thanks again, keep in touch. I want to squeez you and tease you and please you, I want your body, ha ha
Hal, You always did have my utmost respect as a musician, arranger, producer and engineer. If there were any justice in this business, you would have been bigger than Quincy Jones.
Can either Hal or Michael contact me in regards to the Irina album called “I want your body” , people want to know.
Hey Hammond Hal,
If you read this, get my phone number or email address from Mike Fitz. Would like to talk to you. We met at St. Johns Country Day in 1969(?)and I was lucky enought to play bass in a band with you, Paul Glass and David Brownell. Do you remember when we practiced at my house (in the garage of course), my Mom wouldn’t let us start until you played Ebb Tide for her?!? Too funny!

Actually I was lucky enough (not enought). Recently communicated with Paul G.
