There are so many people to thank for this album.
First and foremost everyone at M.C.A. Japan for allowing me, not only to make it, but to have complete artistic freedom to express myself... for that and for their unfailing belief and support, I shall always be grateful.
Denny Diante, who executive produced the album and who co-produced most of the tracks did the job with such enthusiasm and joy that I can honestly say he did it out of love for the craft of making albums and bringing the best out of an artist and a song...A rare talent, a real friend.
Harriet Wasserman, my manager, best friend and production coordinator who held us all together, kept us on track, carried the burden of responsibility for deadlines and details without missing one moment of the fun and freedom of the music.
Cliff Magnes, Humberto Gatica, Danny Jacob, Andy Goldmark, Randy Waldman, Claude Gaudette, "Bonzi" Jim Caruso and John Gass our co-producers and arrangers and mixers whose talent, energy and spirit show on every track.
Jess Sutcliffe who recorded, engineered and mixed so beautifully and whose humor was a wonderful reminder of my home land. All the superb songwriters especially Antonina Armato, who once again shared her gift so unselfishly and made this project a priority in a world filled with creative demands.
Sue Ann Carwell whose vocal talent is all over this album, not only as a singer, but as an arranger, and whose angelic and funky tones made me sound better than I thought was possible. Your voice is a beautiful instrument. Thank you for blessing us with it. Thank you to all the musicians, sound engineers, assistants and recording studio staff who worked long and hard hours... especially everyone at Westlake Audio who gave us a home with a heart!
Many thanks for Joan Scheibel and everyone who lent their talent to the album art work.
Maria Tapia whose devotion to my children and love and care for me makes this working mom rest easy that my house has it's very own guardian angel.
Thanks be to God for giving my life the blessings of good health and a heart filled with overwhelming love for my two beautiful babies Jake and Skylar and the ability to share my happiness and joy though His inspiration and music.
"I prayed so hard for a miracle, God answered me twice
Life has taught me everything I know...But your love has made me wise"
And to all my fans who keep me going in a world of shifting tastes, trends, and loyalties... Thank you for continuing to give me the confidence and FREEDOM to make my music...
