The prime mover of this record was Peter Madsen - an amazing pianist and friend. It was he who encouraged, guided and assisted me through the entire process. He also introduced me to an incredible bassist, Peter Herbert, with whom he records and tours. The contributions of both Peters of this project are immeasurable. I am currently taking lessons from two very special teachers - my children Julianna and Alexander who remind me daily just how much fun it is to play. At the deepest level of love, from which every endeavor flourishes, stands my wife Diane. She has nourished my creative nature allowing it to grow and express itself as never before. (album notes)
