THANKSGIVINGS
Having so many people pour their talent, their creativity, their
time and their love into my songs has been overwhelming. I am
so grateful to all my friends, old and new, who have been a
part of this. To John Morgan, whose vision and leadership have
carried this project from start to finish. Your unflagging enthusiasm,
timely encouragement, and sense of humor have kept me flying
above the clouds. To Tom Boyer: a new friend, highly esteemed.
Your kindness, your calm demeanor and your incredible focused
attentiveness have inspired and comforted me throughout this
journey. To Joshua Sheik and Daryl Wicker: new friends, amazing
artists. Your ingenious rhythms lit a fire under my songs, transformed
them, and delighted my soul. Thank you both for caring so much!
To Becky Boger, Bill Canonico, and Michael Keller: old friends.
I had almost forgotten how much I love making music with you.
Let's do it some more! To all the monstrously talented, skilled
and generous musicians who poured their life into this music-YOU
ROCK! To Deb Flower-Smith, who never gave up telling me that
I should do this: thank you, dear friend. To Brian Doerkson
and Dave Chumchal: you both gave me the gift of your blessing
and told me to get to work! To Michael Hansen and Chris Hartman,
my songwriting amigos: let's get back to it. To Joshua Shultis
and Susan Mentrak: thank you for making it all beautiful. To
my beloved husband and best friend, Steven, and my totally cool
children, Alan, Elizabeth and Emily, who loved and supported
me every step of the way. And to the One above all others. Your
mercy brought You dancing down to me. This is for You! |
