THE MUSIC
I have a huge THANK YOU to all those who contributed to the album.
The list is headed by that inimitable producer/engineer, Ty Ford, for his patience, generosity, guidance, and advice -and, on top of all that, for introducing Alan Oresky and Tom Alonso to the project.
Then come my thanks to the contributing musicians who made such a difference to the album:
Rick Sambuco - for friendship and support through the years and for his steady rhythmic Guitar on tracks 1, 2, 7, & 12;
Alan Oresky - for his wonderfully sensitive and gallant Violin & Mandolin on tracks 1, 2, 7, & 12;
Tom Alonso - for taking tracks 3, 6, & 10 and providing such sensitive and imaginative arrangements, playing all the instruments, and patiently re-playing when things went a little awry. And for adding piano and some midi to the title track 7.
And thanks to Claire Jerram for her lovely vocals on 5.
Tracks 4, 5, 8, 9, & 11 are otherwise no one's responsibility but mine.
THE DESIGN
I had a steep learning curve with Photoshop Elements to realize the design I wanted for the CD.
The front cover would not have been possible without George Adams' (© Stage Left Photography) generous permission to use one of his photographs as a basis for photoshopping. I am not revealing the location of the original motel as it bears no relationship to the carefully anonymous interior I have attempted to craft.
