about

As always with Bandcamp, feel free to give more than the amounts listed. We are UNWAVERINGLY GRATEFUL for any and all support you may give us as we release this album which we had so much fun making. All of the songs are complete, unedited takes - recorded in real time with no overdubs....just real music from two friends.

This album is lovingly dedicated to the memories of Barbara Persinger, who gave life to the woman who has brought me happiness unending, and to Doug Diamond, who taught me how to be passionate about music and education - and that they didn't need to be mutually exclusive.

Thanks to the good folks at D'Addario Woodwinds for keeping me "well-reeded", and Conn-Selmer for their amazing instruments.

With humble thanks and appreciation to my musical collaborator on this project, Ariel Pocock. You can't ask for a better friend.

With gratitude to the good folks at the Jefferson Center in Roanoke, VA, who continue to allow me to record in their great facility: Cyrus Pace, Jordan Harman, Patrick Cavanagh

And to my friends and family, without whom music has no meaning:
Carmen, Spenser, Mira, Marc and Michelle, Mom and Dale, Bob & Barb, Cathi, Andy & Debbie, Wally, Will, Eric & Rebecca, Steve & Kim, Dan, Branford & Nicole, Gio, Brandon, Thomas and Danica, Wynton, Michael & Rosemary, Amanda, Pete & Nancy, Todd, Doug (DERG!), Matt, all the Geros, Byron, Dave (DIRTY D), and everyone who donated to the campaign to get these discs made - I really couldn't have done it without you!
