Liner Notes

Coming from an artist background i look at a recording as a canvas, something to fill with image and color, that flows from beginning to end almost seamless and gives one a feeling of movement – having taken all the time, seven plus years, to make sure each word and note were just what we wanted made this possible… my last solo project was in 1982, and back then  everything had to have been done yesterday, tomorrow was out of the question, this recording thanks to rogers patience, was all about the tomorrows, no rush, no fuss, just a lets get it right attitude that saw lyric rewrites, long editing sessions, and in more than one case complete do overs as far as direction of the narritive… the final result was exactly what it was meant to be… time is a wonderful thing to have in the creative process – therefore here it is “riding the nova train” on our own better daze records – always a working progress!!!
