From Ira Caplan's One World Blue LLC Spotlight "...Within a few months, Ira’s first 8 originals "Father’s Day" were tracked in a nearby studio and a few months later, Ira was at Germantown Studios, NY, with Van Morrison and Natalie Merchant’s master guitarist John Platania producing 4 of the 8, with Platania on Guitar, John Regan (Peter Frampton) on Bass and Gary Burke (Joe Jackson) on Drums. They would tease Ira with nicknames like “Old Man Caplan” for his uncanny lyrical maturity and playful boyish spirit, then tell him his strengths lyrically, melodically and vocally, THEN tell him where he needed to grow. Their world-class musician mentoring stays with him through this day, along with Platania’s resonant praise of “…Rebellion” and “Sacred City”, a song Ira penned between sessions and brought to Platania for his "gentle thunder" critique. This was the dawn of the internet; Ira’s Uncle prompted him to the copyright advantages of one’s own music label and G of A (based on Ira’s song and later album “Ghost of Apollo”) was born. Ira had just driven cross country with college friends Rob Fox and Kevin Rolly, who would later produce this vintage "Rebellion" music video." at https://www.blupela.com/lotw.php?id=1109/Ira-Caplan):
