From the back cover: Located in the heart of Miami Springs Villas in Miami Springs, Florida, and surrounded by a sea of tropical splendor, majestically stands King Arthur's Court, one of the most fabulous dining rooms in the world. The dream and creation of Art Burns, owner and genial host, it portrays all the old English elegance that the name implies. Beautiful, medieval murals adorn the walls and nothing has been omitted which pertains to the reign of King Arthur of England, from the sword Excalibur, to his very own round table. The moat, complete with chains and drawbridge, the only entrance to the castle itself, was selected as the background for The Singing Violins

Max Brown, musical director and pianist of this very fine group, is a graduate of The Hambourg Conservatory Of Music, and The University Of Toronto Music School in Toronto, Canada.

He and Angie Liotta who plays string bass and mandolin, have been associated with Miami Springs Hotel and Villas for the past eight years as part of a trio. At the suggestion of Mr. Burns, the present larger group was formed for the new room and was immediately acclaimed by music lovers from all parts of the world. The selections chosen for this album demonstrate the skillful manner in which this talented group interprets every type of music from classics to modern; from the gay French waltz to the fiery gypsy melodies; and original music, written and composed by maestro Max Brown.
