Partial proceeds from the sale of this CD will benefit Symphony of Soul, my favorite charity based in Austin, Texas. Symphony of Soul is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that I founded back in May of 2000. Symphony of Soul provides live “musical medicine for the soul” to people who are confined in care centers and facing challenging circumstances. With a roster of more than 75 professional musicians of all genres – classical, jazz, blues, rock and more – Symphony of Soul brings musical medicine to everyone from infants to senior citizens who are coping with cancer, drug & alcohol addiction, homelessness, Alzheimer’s, mental illness and other challenges. I truly appreciate your purchasing this CD. The proceeds will help Symphony of Soul to continue providing “musical medicine” to those in need.

My heartfelt thanks to the Lord of All who has blessed me with a life of depth, meaning and joy. I am thankful for the many angels in my life who have given me so much love and encouragement, especially my husband George who is an angel among men, my soul sisters Faith Curtin, Sarah Beetch and Terry Heller, The Ambler family, The Hyland family, The Rodgers family, the Church of Conscious Harmony, Gary Powell, Brenda Ladd, Anna Lively and Diane and Jerry Tubb. Thank you to the wonderful musicians who shared their amazing talents to make this recording possible: Alex Coke, Rich Harney, Mike Lewis, Russell K. Shores and The Brothers – Phil Chidester, Paul Haake, Dave Evertson and Mike Kosacek. Thank you, also, to the entire Symphony of Soul family – the musicians, the board members, the clients and the many supporters of our mission – for sharing in the vision and for giving me the opportunity to serve.

This CD is dedicated to my beloved husband George, the love of my life, the healer of my heart, and the one who makes me smile.
