Notes on the artists as they appear inside the CD
|
|
"I
have been singing for as long as I can remember. I love harmonies, the blues
and the way music makes me feel. All my songs are stories about life's experiences.
I hope you enjoy listening to this CD as much as I have enjoyed working with
these inspiring musicians." |
