Although there are many albums to my credit, this will be the first one that is ALL original. For awhile now, inspirational songs have been falling down on me like a soft spring rain. At this point, I have more than enough to make an album. I feel like a giddy child romping in a field of blossoms wanting to pick more than I need for a bouquet. Nevertheless, recording began on April 1st at Diamond Studio in San Francisco with engineer Dave Austin. He was pleasant, passionate, lovingly honest, and didn’t waste a minute. Dave has got my back. So does audiophile/pianist, Khaleghl Quinn, who listened patiently and intently, offering up highly sensitive musical observation. We made an excellent in-studio team. In addition, there are other folks behind the scenes… My sweetheart, Shelly, always gives me the unabashed perspective of the musically appreciative consumer. And, pianist/piano teacher Camille Escudero, who has incredible musical knowledge, shares her opinions and has watched over this inspirational project since it’s conception. I am blessed by this core of supportive people and many more friends, fans, and co-musicians who tell me what they like. But ultimately, I will always have to be true to myself of course. So anyway, at the first studio session, we had musical fun and exchanged some gentle April Fool’s jokes. But when it came to recording, there was no fooling around!

ByCynthiaIt’s the season for something new. So when I got an email intro to Dan Damon from our mutual webmaster, I absolutely had to go hear him. Dan performs both jazz & spiritual music just like I do, and plays an extremely pleasant jazz piano at Hotel Mac in Pt. Richmond. It was a lovely evening and so nice to meet…

ByCynthiaWas it just good luck? There she was “across a crowded room” as the romantic story always goes. She was absolutely aglow with the fun she was having with her friends. Our eyes met, and we smiled simultaneously. Minutes later I turned, and she was sitting next to me. A year later, we were married…
