Album Notes

Officer Andrew Cohen, aka “Powder” has endured the experiences and realities of being a beat cop for many years and has found a unique format in which to share these experiences with you: Music.

Oro en Paz, Fierro en Guerra: Gold in peace, iron in war is the slogan for the San Francisco Police Department; an appropriate description of this CD as well as its producer.

Fierro en guerra is yet another ride on the emotional rollercoaster that some, if not all Law Enforcement personnel experience during their careers.

As Police Officers, Deputy Sheriffs, Department of Corrections, California Youth Authority and even the likes of civilian employees such as Communications, we endure the stresses and pain of violence, crime, death and despair on a daily basis. It is from these experiences that I offer this collection of songs.
