Retrospect…Breathing in the Years (Full Album)

Description

Thanks to Dan Peters and Kyle Mathews Moore for their help with the mixing, mastering, and getting these songs released.

Thanks to Purdue University’s Professor Felix Stefanile, whose dedication to the enjoyment and discipline in writing inspired me to write for a lifetime. He made writing a process of discovery for me, and helped make my mind . . . my best friend.

Thanks to all of those people and events in my life that have made their way into and between the pages of my lyrics and within the chords of my songs. Thank you all for your inspiration and for your impact on my life.  Without you, no song or poem would exist. 

Thanks to Granny Pearl for your place in forming my “constitution”, and the “constitutions” of hundreds of people who knew you. There are no words deep enough to capture you. The world was made better by your appearance here.  

Thanks to God for blessing me with the gift of music, and more importantly, for the gift of the passion to transform inspiration into writing. I am eternally grateful for the joy I find in the writing process, and in the discovery of “Self” and “Universe” that it engages. Poetry and music can dissolve thinking into laughter and to tears

The most special of all thanks . . . to Barb:

“I look for the stars . . . but you make them shine!”

“If we hold each other close enough . . . we can dream each other’s dreams.”
