Boyd Reno is John Center
"In July of 2002, Boyd Reno approached me to inquire about recording his solo record. I knew Mr. Reno from his other occupation as front man of Albuquerque, NM's Oh, Ranger! We were among a community of rockers that made up Red Door Studios located on Historic Route 66 in downtown Albuquerque, NM.

Reno's Recording project began with first laying down live acoustic guitar and vocals tracks. Immediately, I was taken by the irreverent beauty in his compositions. We then set forth implementing electronic accompanyments. followed by a barrage of musical contributions by other Red Door denizens. Reno's songs quickly transformed into spontaneous works of pop art. At two compositions per week. we were able to complete the tracking within one month's time.... Smooth and fun. By the time the project was completed, the studio and the bands were evicted from the Red Door after more than ten years of rock operation. It is the last album recorded in that space adding a new sense of sadness and sentiment to it's completion..
With Heart Positions in the can, we set about, forming a band. The next challenge was to actualize the music. Given the nature of our eclectic approach in producing the arrangements, we thought that recreating a live representation would be difficult. We culled from the pool of contributing talent, the individuals who would comprise the act. With me, John Center, Center's sister Nora Bangkok, 'His Arm's Broken' and Little Kiss Record's C.E.O., Man Cell, we done had ourselves an outfit brandishing a sound unique to the record.

We believe our project so be special in light of Reno's song writing genius coupled with our casual approach to creating the arrangements resulted in an enchanted wonderland sprinkled with sonic dews. Stacy Randal of Transmission magazine is quoted; "(Heart Positions) is artistic, expressive, melodic and emotive" adding "this is one of the best productions I've heard come out of burque rock city' in a long long time." What will be next? Is he bi-curious?" by Paul Hartsfield
