Album Notes

From Dena personally:

This SINGLE is dedicated to the unsung heroes of life - caregivers! They are hidden behind the disease or condition, hidden behind the person who has that disease or condition and buried under emotional/physical and financial landslides. I say thank you on behalf of those who want to speak but are no longer able to. I give each of you a standing ovation and I sing the song you can hear on this page to you and for you.

Like so many people, I've dealt with an elderly parent with significant problems. My older sister, Linda, stepped in and moved Mommie from the nursing home into her home. This was no easy job. In addition to all the other health issues she had, my mother also suffered with Alzheimers .. and suffer she did.

As she declined in overall health and became more and more lost in that horrific disease, Linda, and her husband, Michael, made the descent with her. How they did it year after year with only a few home health aides to assist is completely beyond me. As much as I loved her, I honestly don't know that I could have done it.

I entered the studio with three of Austin's finest musicians (Rick McRae & Terry Hale of George Strait's Ace in the Hole Band and Ernie Durawa of the Texas Tornados) and recorded a single dedicated to ALL caregivers universally but with special thanks to my sister and brother-in-law.

Proceeds from the sale of this single will be donated, in my mother's name, to national organizations dedicated to supporting caregivers. The charity's page, http://www.denataylormusic.com/id37.html contains links to caregivers organizations as well as an opportunity to make donations.
