CREDITS

 

THANK YOU:

Growing up, money was often tight. Despite that challenge, my parents always made sure that we had access to music lessons and instruments; “You might say, that’s where it all started.” This record would not be possible without their emotional and financial support.

 

Special thanks to those who made this album possible, including my darling husband Aleks, Dorothy Crum, Danni Dunn, Eric Hurlock, Robert Litton, and David Sternfeld.

 

This album is made possible in part by a Koch Cultural Trust Enabling Grant.
