The amount of traveling and research that went into the writing and the development of this album was immense.  It literally took me nearly 40 years to gather, write, and record the material.  It was also my very first “self-produced album”.  Before then, I had always used professional recording studios.  Since then, I have always engineered and produced my own recordings.  So, you see, this album is very much a huge milestone in my life and my career.
