turtle 2
This is a vocal album of seven original songs that I wrote during a time of great change in my life. Each song came from my heart and its the first time I allowed myself to feel the vulnerability of attempting vocals. I could not have accomplished this album without "a little help from my friends." I had the support and encouragement of my friend and vocal coach, Janet Planet and the beautiful harmonic song arrangements by Tom Theabo. My dream has finally become reality. John Gibson and Chris Backus added the bass and Audrey Hendrickson brought in the percussion. John Gibson also gave the final engineering touches that brought the songs to life.
