Album Notes

This is the second CD I have recorded. It was recorded at Cove City Studios, owned by Ritchie Cannata. Also thanks go to Ritchie, for taking what ended up being the cover of my CD. Billy Joel fans will immediately recognize Ritchie as Billy's amazing sax player. I had the unbelievable pleasure of playing on the most beautiful Yamaha grand piano, which was graced by the fingers of Billy Joel and Lionel Ritchie just to name a couple...well, aside from me!
These songs are the product of the past four years. With the exception of the song "War" which was written in about 1989...I have been writing however, for my whole life. I come from a musical and creative family. When I was ten, I asked my father who was a jazz percussionist, to teach me to play the drums. My grandmother suggested that I should play something more lady-like...
My parents bought my first piano, and I studied for about a year until they divorced. That is probably when I really started to pour myself into my writing. It wasn't until about 1998 that I taught myself to play chords by ear. Once I did that my music grew at a phenomenal pace.
I began to figure out my songs one by one. Since then, I have almost filled what was a brand new book with what has become a journal of not only my own life, but my views on the world as well...
