Notes by Lenny Carlson

I lovingly dedicate this debut CD to my late parents: Violet M. Wood, of Colon, Panama, and my father, Gladstone E. Wood, of Barbados, West Indies, and to my late Godmother, Mary Lee Booker.

I also wish to thank: Frank Johnson (for introducing Lenny and I), Keisha Wiggins, Cleo and Amaje Fort (for their unending support). Lisa, Elena and Marissa (for loaning Lenny to this project), Faith Winthrop (my vocal coach), my sisters Helen, Connie and LeeVersa, my brothers Gladstone Jr., Herbert, and Dudley, my dear friends Bereather Wilson, Michael Patterson, Doreatha Fuller, Lynette Francis, Andrienne Moore, Russell Bond, Stevan and Digeann Pasero (for their artful contributions) and all the musicians that supported this project.

Lenny would like to acknowlege his family Lisa, Elena and Marissa, and Rose Ayala for the use of her beautiful classical guitar handcrafted by Australian luthier John Price.

Lenny dedicates his work on this project to the memory of his teacher, the renowned guitarist, John Elbert Collins (1913-2001)

In loving memory of Larry Blackshere (1947-2002)
