Instrumental tracks for this album originated with a theatrical performance of the play "Amber Waves", written by James Still about the trials and tribulations of a farm family struggling to keep their farm afloat during tough economic times. Pops Jones composed the music for the production, and performed the songs live during the running of the play at Flint Youth Theater (Flint, Michigan) in 2012. Where a name is included in the title song, i.e. 'Deb's Optimism', it is referring to a character in this play. Pops Jones is a singer/songwriter, and also guitarist and lead vocalist for the band Salter. It is the artist's hope that you will find these songs moving, relaxing and yet thought-provoking.
