Album Notes

Steven Courtney is one performing songwriter who understands success. In a
span of fifteen years he has performed over 3,500 concerts, recorded 19 full
length albums, produced three concert length performance videos and an
award winning* children's TV series. There are, of course, many reasons for his
success. Robyn Russian, a first grade teacher, recently commented, "His songs
and concerts get the audience involved with his music, pulling them into a
world of happiness, friendship and love."

Steven continues to perform solo concerts as well as touring with the "Steven Courtney Band" show.

Steven has been writing songs since 1976. Favorites from his catalog, over
200 songs deep, include titles like "Happy Go Lucky Shoes", "Steven the
Pirate", "We Are A Family", "Dat Dat Boom!" and the award winning** "If The World Was Filled With Love". His songs are a diverse collection with themes that
include love, friendship and family.

"Steven Courtney's songs make you feel good! It's like a breath of fresh
air", remarks elementary school principal Bob Pleis.. "We book his concert for
our school every year because his message is positive and encouraging and it's
what our students and staff need to hear." Courtney's concert schedule
continues to take him across the country. Steven has performed from Philadelphia to
Seattle and from Kalamazoo to Baltimore in schools, theaters, libraries and
festivals.

Somewhere, today, Steven is probably performing a show, encouraging children
and adults to work hard at loving and caring for each other. As the show
ends you will hear Steven singing "and the road may not be easy/and the journey
may be long/but as you go/ go in love/and love will lead you along." (From
the album Dat Dat Boom! "Love Will Lead You Along")
