first off, let it be understood the 100% of profits from all albums sales goes directly into investment and savings for the education of hap's children. this is for the kids, quite literally, so help mr. hathaway help his progeny to help our species to evolve. this album has been in the cut for awhile but was lost in the shuffle of life. about the time i started putting this project together, the resonators were assembled. shortly thereafter, we began working with himp c and an album for both himp and the resonators took top priority at family business labs. we began working to bring our new music to the public and time passed quickly, finding this project done but not published. late 2008 came with some tragedy that shook our family to the core. our brother jeremy miller was lost to a senseless act of cowardly violence, leaving a void in our lives that will never be filled. brother jeremy told me that, aside from raising our kids, the music was the most important thing we had going. he asked me to promise that we would never stop. i made him that promise and i intend to keep it. our bodies pass away, but our spirits live forever through the other beings we touch in our lifetime. i pray this music will be as timeless as the rhythm of the seasons and as nourishing as the plants that sustain our bodies. this is perennial, and it is livecated to all of our family, those we have lost and those we have yet to meet.
