From the back cover: Hal Vincent – a keyboard "Pied Piper" for the Baldwin Piano & Organ Company – has entertained audiences world-wide with his musical genius in "pop" and jazz fields. Hal joined Baldwin after many years as an entertainer on both the east and west coasts, during which time he studied with such musical giants as the last Cy Walter and Juilliard's John Mehegan. Since then, his renown has become international expositions in Frankfurt and Johannesburg. Currently, Hal is home again Product Manager at Baldwin. As those who have attended his concerts known, it is worth even extra effort to hear Mr. Vincent's entertaining keyboard style. Music Mate showcases Hal's virtuosity and exciting arrangements.

Wayne Wilkinson – is a special musical ambassador for the Baldwin Piano & Organ Company. He has thrilled concert-goers in many parts of the world – from Europe to South Africa, from Australia to Asia. Before joining Baldwin in 1971, Wayne was a featured soloist in clubs, on television and with symphonic orchestras. He obtained a non-musical degree from Illinois Institute of Technology but found his dedication to music to be stronger than his other interests. Now, Wayne helps non-players realize how much fun they are missing; he is manager of organ education programs at Baldwin. As one of Baldwin's top flight artists, Mr. Wilkinson specializes in using the organ as an "orchestra". This extraordinary approach to organ playing is evident in his versatile and unique arrangements featured in Music Mates
