BACKGROUND:

I've always enjoyed making music with other musicians, much more than playing solo.  I guess it is the joy that is generated from unexpected interactions, spontaneity, and the discovery of new avenues of expression.

COVID pretty much ended up taking that all away, and forced me into being a solo musician for almost 2 years.  That meant digging deeper into writing and arranging my own material; and that effort has been like learning to flex a different part of my brain ... in a good way.

Most of the tracks were recorded in my daughter Sarah's old bedroom here in Kent, CT between early 2020 & mid-2022.  I used my MacbookPro, Apple's Logic software, and some basic microphones.  The basic tracks were then transferred to ProTools for re-mixing by Tracy Walton at On Deck Sound Studios in Northfield, CT - https://ondecksound.com
