This album is dedicated to the memory of Mario Lisanti and Bill Ross, who were
taken
from us long before their time. May they live forever in the
minds and hearts
of those who loved them.

I would also like to thank all of the wonderful music teachers who taught, inspired and encouraged me: Carol E. Tunstall, Elly Tucker, Yvonne Duisit, Art Wheeler, John D'earth, Dawn Thomspon, Mario Lisanti, Franco Bertacci, Mike Longo, Andy Wasserman, John Conte, Margaret Kinander, Arturo Spinetti, and of course, Elton John and Billy Joel, who taught me how to play, sing, and listen. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
