"I
could not have made this CD without help from such amazing,
wonderful, and warm people. Two incredibly talented musicians,
Wally Pilcher and Becky Bradley, were a motivating force on
Breath of Heaven. It was a treat to have Phil and Pat
Schappert create a genuine Celtic arrangement to Down By The
Sally Gardens. Meg Houghton provided many long hours of
creativity, amazing skill, and dedication. It was awesome
teaming up with Jenny Houghton on Pie Jesu and The Flower
Duet. Martha Mortensen Dudgeon and Steve Kostelniks
contributions were superb. I am in awe of Rick Connell, Casper
Rawls, and Terry Hale. Terry gave me incredible encouragement
to stay with it and not give up. I thank Redd Volkaert for
being a mentor and contributing to my growth as a new artist.
Erik Hokkanen is a fantastic fiddler and I loved working with
him in the studio. Larry Telford is so cool, and I totally
appreciate his vast patience and expertise. Most of all, my
thanks goes to mom."
