Making this record
was an absolute joy from beginning to end. The respect and
admiration that I have for everyone who was part of this project
goes beyond words. When I reflect back to when I first
came to Los Angeles, I would have never have thought I would be
associated with the caliber of musician that has contributed to
this recording. To an incredible cast of musicians and
singers, my hat is off to all of you. Dave, Jon, Ray,
Scott, Bob, Brian, Mandie and Christie, Bravo!

I remember when I
was a little kid growing up in Western New York. Both my mother
and father were from large Italian families, so you can just
imagine the food that was served on Sundays and holidays. Every
meal was a feast and family get togethers with grandparents,
aunts, uncles, countless cousins and freinds of the family were
like full on smorgasbords. Everybody talked with their hands and
ate till it hurt.
Although the food was great and usually everyone was glad to see
each other, the thing I remember most was the music. Almost
everyone from both sides of my family was musical. Whether it was
playing piano or guitar, singing or dancing, we would all
entertain each other. In fact, it would become the biggest part of
the day and everyone would take a turn at center stage. I just
figured it was part of being Italian, and for me it became second
nature. Now I carry on that tradition by bringing to life the
songs that I heard when I was a child. Grazie!
