This path took him into many musical ventures, which led to the formation and recording contract with Windows the contemporary Jazz group. Along with his writing partner Ed Cohen, the Windows life span generated eleven albums, peaking with the number one radio album "The French Laundry". During this period Skipper recorded his first solo album of vocal material titled "The Clock in the Moon" which yielded the top 10 single "Standing Outside in the Rain". Peter White, one of Skipper's old friends, was involved with most of Skipper's albums. In turn Skipper produced his first two records, "Réveillez-Vous" and "Excusez-Moi", both of which reached #1 on the radio charts.
