Thanks to my children Micah, Zia, Izzy, Tenzin and Noah.
May the world be a better place for you because of the work I have done and supported in my lifetime.
In 2001, with baby number five, Noah still nursing, I began working on this album in hopes to rekindle a music/songwriting career that began before baby number one, Micah, 1991.
Three relationships, countless bands, countless jobs as the sole provider for my five beautiful children and a few producers later...here it is, Sweet Deal.
Nothing short of a miracle. Thank you to the divine creative power of life (God to some, Goddess to me) for keeping this music alive in my heart and thanks to those who supported me in getting it out there.
Special Thanks:
To Larry Mitchell for listening to what I wanted, delivering the goods and healing me from my producer PTSD. To Cathryn McGill for her support, inspiration, and wonderful vocal arrangements. To John Rangel for his beautiful playing, Jeff Sussman for his solid and enchanting percussion. To Busy McCarroll and Susan Clark for their beautiful vocals and heart felt support.
To my mom, Guinevere Grier, for her wonderful generous support in every way! To Richard Fammeree, my dearest friend who will always be in my heart. To Arthur Walton for his inspiration and life lessons. To Garrett Fischbach for his impeccable listening and support. To Joseph Curiale for his inspiration and support to carry on with the work I love.
