This album is dedicated to the memory of Richard & Alice Currence. To a wood paneled basement with a Koronette combo fire place & “hi fi” stereo system bar where I was introduce to my first love. To a beat up forest green velvet love seat that supported the watching of hours upon hours of cartoons, sci fI, horror movies, and MTV. To stacks of worn out vinyl records and mountains of cassette cases that cluttered every inch of a basement bedroom. To endless hours in a non climate controlled garage - both by myself and with a small cavalcade of brothers - all of us dreaming of life and success beyond it’s four walls. To the hard rock and heavy metal of the 70’s and 80’s that created a universe of sound and imagination that I still carry with me, and rely on to this day. To music, the wife of my youth, guardian of my hopes & dreams and steward of my inner peace and light. May this record humbly honor the contributions and memories of you all.

This album (and my life for that matter) would not exist without Holly & Kyle Currence, whose selfless love and unwavering belief have created and fueled these expressions of sound. I adore them both. May this music memorialize and honor their existence for the rest of their living days & beyond.
