"There'll Be Some Changes Made" seems an appropriate title for my first CD as a leader as it succinctly encapsulates my life in 2016-2017 on nearly every level. I've always believed that Change is the only constant and whether you initiate it or not, it's going to happen!

So, I wanted to take a moment at this juncture to acknowledge some very special people in my life via a sound snapshot. Not as any kind of goodbye, but as recognition of how storongly I feel about them through all change that comes our way.Bill, Bob, Danny, and I met at Sound 81 Productions on Nov. 12 2017 for one 8 hour session to do this, the following notes explain who each track is dedicated to...

"There'll Be Some Changes Made" - For my very dear friend Liz.
