Here Liner Notes

Amy:

Thanks to all our friends and family in Canada and the U.S. for cheering us on over the past twenty-seven years. We’ve had a wonderful journey so far and this CD represents where we are at this point in our life. Thanks to my Mom and Dad who traveled near and far to hear us play. I wish Dad were here to qvell. Also, thanks to Ken who worked so hard on this project. You did it! Thank you for writing so many great songs and sticking with it to get them recorded. You amaze me and I love you. Thanks to my bookend Margo Lenmark for the laughs.

Ken:

Music has been such a blessing in my life. It heals me. This album is about love of music, engineering, lyrics and composition. I was inspired mainly by the love in my life, my wife, Amy. Her happy spirit shines through in everything she does. This album is dedicated to my parents Patricia and Theophile LaDéroute of Kapuskasing Ontario, Canada. They have been great role models in my life and have shown love, self-discipline and sacrifice. I’d most like to thank Roy Eugene Davis of Center for Spiritual Awareness for his teachings and great influence on my life.
