"I didn’t realize how badly I wanted to get my music out into the world until an old friend of mine miraculously reentered my life. Duke Davis and I had a great time working together, back in the mid 70’s, and then we lost touch. I discovered he had been very busy, recording his own albums as well as producing many other artists, throughout the years. He was excited to hear I started writing music in 2002, but shocked that I had never recorded an album. He was determined to help me change that!!
I started sharing my originals with him and my writing technique. Not being proficient at the piano, I would sit for hours until the notes in my head ended up on paper. In 2006, I went back to college to study arranging and composition with Joe LoCasio, and he began translating my voicings into chords and I continued to compose.
I truly believe in God’s timing. I waited all these years for the perfect producer, great engineers and a stellar ensemble of musicians. The incredible energy in the studio was poured into my long overdue project! I’m hoping my first album will be one to remember!
Thank you, Duke Davis, for believing in me, lovingly and tirelessly directing my steps. This would not have happened without you!"
