Talk of the town: Musician, toy store owner make music
By JOE GROSS, Staff Writer
A friendship between a toy store owner and a musician would seem to make for strange bedfellows. But the collaborations of musician-singer Jeff Archer and Joe Salik, who owns the Bowie Toy Company shop on Green Street in Annapolis, has resulted in an outpouring of creativity.

Mr. Salik used part of his store to install a small recording studio that has been named the Naptown Audio Lab, where Mr. Archer recorded his recently released CD "The JA Project," which is all original work by Mr. Archer.

The two men also talked about writing a children's book and Mr. Salik followed up with a seasonal publication entitled "Starrlite & Starrbrite, The Reindeer Twins," which was illustrated extremely well by Clara Daly of Baltimore.

Mr. Archer and "The Jeff Archer Group" will perform for the second straight year at Mr. Salik's store as part of this week's Midnight Madness celebration for the downtown stores.

The JA Project is a feast for the ears! His lyrics tell great stories of love, of Annapolis, of Jeeps, of checks in the mail. The songs have a variety of topics, but all with a theme of relationships: between a man and a woman, a man and his best friend, a man and...his Jeep! Everything being sung in those songs are coming from that man. The words are moving, plus the beats get you grooving! Jeff Archer experiments with different rhythms: "Down in Mexico" has a Latino flair, and "John Wayne" has a reggae style.
I happen to have myself an _autographed_ copy of the CD! :) By the way, the CD has a unique retro look to it--it is black and has a groove pattern on the top so it looks like an LP record! That way the disc itself is as cool as the music on it! Definitely worth a spin on the ole CD player!

Very happy and pleasing.
