Producing this CD evolved from the continuing encouragement and inspiration of friends and family.

"Inner Landscapes" emerged from my inner emotional experiences - the inevitability of life cycles, the transformation of significant love relationships, and the profound sorrow of losing my beloved parents.

In these songs and instrumentals, you will hear a blending of musical influences, the simplicity of the universal folksong tradition, the haunting beauty of the music of contemporary Greek composers.

I offer this intimate musical collection hoping it will accompany you on your inner journeys.

This album is in loving memory of my mother and father, Betty and Russell Waesche, my nephew, Victor Cristobal Romero, my musical mentor and friend, John Lowry; and in celebration of my granddaughter, Kaleigh Fae, born March 12th, 1998.

Special thanks for support during the production of this album to Crystal Reeves for everything from versatile musicality, to competent guidance and encouraging friendship throughout, to Kris Gannon and Jeannine Herron, for their vocal harmonies, and loving encouragement in continuing valuable 'Committee' fashion!, to Dave Wellhausen, for technical expertise, and an unfailing willingness to encourage and honor the soul of the music as well as the sound.

To José Fidel Justo-Bilbao for never letting me give up on the project during so many emergency interruptions, and for offering the gift of his extraordinary graphic talents and kind encouragement from beginning to end.

Finally, to my darling daughter, Cordelia, for reminding me of the continuing cycle and true meaning of life.

Thanks to all of you who have supported, encouraged, and inspired me through the years, you know who you are, you are in the music.
