I have to write or I feel like I may curl up and die. It is life-giving for me. And working creatively on the music for this project with my good friend every Monday for a year was what it took to finally bring it to completion. This was an album I had to make just to celebrate an amazing life-journey -- one that started as a season of despair and traveled down a road to regain hope and find true joy. I call this album "the bow on top of the package"for me of this healing journey i went through. It was something I did for myself but my desire is that it is enjoyable for others -- inspiring people to ask "what if?" with a positive wonder instead of "what if?" with a sense of dread. I love artists like Katie Herzig who aren't afraid to think outside the box musically. We attempted that approach particularly to "Lillian's Rainbow". My favorite artist/songwriter since childhood is Amy Grant and the style of my music reflects her influence -- primarily her recent work, the acoustic folk sound set to personal lyrics. Now that this project is complete, I hope you'll stay tuned for new music that we will create hopefully finish within 2012. Feel free to pop over to my new website have launched on 10/17/11 and watch the music VIDEO for "Know Me" arriving 10/19/11 and maybe even subscribe to my blog. It's fun to be creative with stories I glean from complete strangers, so feel free to share your life with me along the way. Let's make some music.
