    Special Thanks To David Weyner, Larry Hamby Nathan Sedlander and to all of the musicians and engineers who gave so freely to this project.

    Love to Michele, Travis, Kate and Ryan

    I have wanted for many years to do a blues-oriented CD. For Sapphire Blue, I had complete creative freedom. It is a big part of my spirit captured on CD. I hope that all who listen will feel my joy.
