The Thanks...

I have so many people to thank I hardly know where to begin. I first need to thank my sister Cathy, who was truly the driving force behind this project. Although it was stressful, it all turned out well! I must also thank Doug Jackson for his generosity in allowing us to invade his home for ten hours, and for all of his hard work. Thanks to Ryan for a great guitar track on "Carefree Day". Thanks also to Mom & Dad, for being my biggest supporters in this. Many thanks also to Justin Jackson, for his patience as I ranted and raved here at school. Thanks as well to all those who have inspired any song that I might have written. And last but not least, thanks to Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary, my best friends in the entire world, for the grace to carry out this project. Thanks!
 

The Story...

It all started in the summer of 2002. My sister decided to record a musical album for her senior project, so she contacted me and Doug Jackson to get everything together. Indeed, it was a lot of hard work, and a lot of heavy and frantic emailing, since I was 300 miles away at the time. Finally, it all came together on Nov. 1, as we all spent many hours that weekend recording this thing. It all worked out well, and so here is the result of our planning, creativity, and ingenuity! I hope you enjoy this CD as much as I've enjoyed recording it.
