This album is dedicated to my wife Amy, her strength, love, friendship and courage... to the memory of Chuck Sabatino, a cherished friend, a world-class musician, composer, a first-class human being, missed by all of us who were lucky enough to know him... to my mom, Mary Jane, aka "Mad Red" who taught me never to give up... and to the memory of my father, Bob McDonald. Their love of music and words of wisdom shaped my life... also to my kids, who (inspite of what they think), I love much more than my job.
