notes

The artwork on the album belongs to Patti Sevensma. It is with a great eye that she catches the color of a sunset. That takes a gifted talent and as an artist she has the gift. Please respect the art work and if you wish to contact her on the art she would welcome inquiries @ patti7@iserv.net...Patti in the "Visual Arts" was written up as being especially adept with her photographs...Sevensma works in other mediums as well and equally impressive ,"convincingly composed". Contact her to inquire aquiring a piece of her art.

Of course these weren't all my writings...I had major assist from artist inside Coupe Studios. And the credit for composer, although I share a credit, goes to my friend Kip Kuepper. The real musical brainchild to this sound is all Kip. Yet there are a host of talent on these tracks worth mentioning as I come back to this page and rightfully credit the remaining musical talent.

In the meantime, I dedicate to Risha and Dale Bradshaw the tune Spiritual Water. Although the lyrics and tune belong to Kip Kuepper/Greg Stouffer and John Radebaugh on guitar. My only contribution is the concept and of course the dedication.

I just had a great talk with Stephanie Margheim and her celebrated daughter. When a parent can be there and care as Stephanie has for her daughter and give the kind of lift to keep her daughter going to school and in the struggle to learn and not quite...says it all. I dedicate The Lonely Venturer to her and her daughter Faith.

The Lonely Venturer is a tune that Kip Kuepper took to the next level with assist from Patrick Cullie and Nelson Rangel. I got in on this one and assisted in co-writing the lyrics. Great tune...hope you get out of it what the rest of us did in creating it. We had fun.

One more dedication that is dear to me worth my effort to honor two individuals; Bill Lee for an exchange of friendship he gave me his tie clip. I never have had that happen. I complimented his dress and he gave me the clip to his tie. So Kip Kuepper engineered and designed my favorite tune "Desert Rain". It is this amazing tune that I dedicate to Bill Lee.

In the same vein of friendship without restraints I give a second dedication to Barb Kuepper and Terri Touron Bailey. For which some honor can be restored. You two gals gave Kip and I the best gift of all and that is our children. Even tho we were a couple of rats we now stand in reflection of the gift you gave us and agree you deserve this dedication to the best song we ever collaborated on! It can't make up for the wrong but it can be a step in the direction of honorable mention.
