Many of these songs were conceived, written, and recorded on a horse farm in Oviedo, Florida in 2006 & 2007 on a small Tascam digital 8-track recorder. I recorded one track at a time without any overdubs. So, the recordings were kinda rough... but that’s life in the country. Don’t worry, that’s not what you’ll hear on this CD. In May of 2008, I moved into a large 3 bedroom with a loft. Then, I was fired from my job in August and took a month off, cruising the coast of Florida and playing my guitar. When I came home, I spent most of my time working my butt off freelancing. In June of 2009 my friends Steve & Shelly Hall brought their recording equipment with them and moved in for a few months. We recorded about 8 songs in my loft during the summer and fall of 2009. Sometime in September, guitar extraordinaire Kyle Rife showed up and needed a place to stay. Over the course of the next two weeks, he layed down most of the lead guitar parts and really gave the songs what they needed... personality. He then went off to play with Jimmy Buffett’s guitar player Ilo Ferreira. Thank you so much Kyle! In March of 2009, I met the most beautiful woman in the world and we fell in love. Ausra and her children have enriched my life beyond words. Many of the songs on this CD are inspired by Ausra, Indre, and Agne. In early 2010, Steve and I overdubbed and mixed the tracks in Orlando and Tampa. Steve and Shelly went back on the road for most of 2010 and the project was put on hold. It seemed to take forever. With so many songs, I thought it was never going end. But, in December 2010, Steve and I put the finishing touches on it. I’m forever greatful to everyone for making this possible. I feel very lucky to be able to create music. Life goes fast, we gotta make it last... Thank you Ausra for your love & inspiration Thank you John, Paul, George, and Ringo
