What we know as the Marcy Playground album had originally
been a project of John and a good friend named Jared Kotler. The

at John's wedding. As the recording progressed, it was decided that
other individuals be brought in to play on the album. Dylan
was brought in to fill the bass position. Jared continued filling
the drum spot. It was not until the recording had ended that Dan
was added to the line-up on drums due to conflicts between all involved.
