Liane Gulizia and to members of

song What
Happened to Love? A sincere thank
you to Megan Brooks, Jackson Dowell, Lindsey Dowswell, Davis Gaul,
Maureen Irgens, Wilbur Mendez, Kyle Simonett, Lauren Vickers, and
Mary “Z” Warren. Special thanks to Peter
Henderson for use of the delightful and
provocative music from his album entitled Seasons and Journeys. Peter is a fantastically talented
individual! Many of you will perhaps
remember seeing Pete, in live performance or on TV. He is the Henderson half of the well-known comedy team of Skiles and
Henderson. You can E-mail him at henderpete@rapidcable.com for information concerning his music. Special thanks to
Ashley Hollenbeck for
her delightful and dramatic reading of Bilding
Me A Fewchr. Ashley, who
lives in Sacramento with her mother, Kathy Hollenbeck, has quite an impressive number of commercial voice-overs already to
her credit, many of them along with her father, George
Hollenbeck,
who, as it happens, is in advertising.
Special thanks to George Hollenbeck and Kathy Hollenbeck for everything. Special thanks to
Ivan Kershner for use
of his piece Marbles in the
Schoolyard and, of course,
for his reading of this delightful piece. Ivan is
school principal of Eagle Valley High School in Gypsum, Colorado, and also a very talented poet. He is the author of an impressive book of poems entitled Airports Full
of People A Long Time Dead. Special thanks
to Michael Leonard for having helped us by supplying trumpet for My Sacred Pledge Track 24). Special thanks to Rogeniv
Mamauag for the magic he brings to
music. An accomplished musician and
songwriter, Rogeniv is a member of Touch, a
multi-talented 4-member a cappella group based in Sacramento,
California. Touch was one of a handful of groups from throughout the country
invited to participate in the 53rd
Presidential Inaugural in Washington, D.C. The popular song I Want to Live
On—a collaboration between Rogeniv Mamauag and Frank Trujillo—has been
used extensively throughout the United States as a memorial tribute, as a
tribute song for parents and teachers, and, for more than two years now, as a
“theme song” in support of organ and tissue donation programs nationally. May God bless you always, Rogeniv. You are an
incredible talent—on a par with the very best.
We wish you tremendous success in your future. Special thanks to Kevin
and Maribel Schwall. Kevin, for helping with a
variety of voice recordings, and Maribel for dramatic readings of The
War to End All Wars and I Think of the
Good We Have Lost. Very special thanks to my beloved colleague and friend, Glenn Andrew Strawn, for use of his wonderful music from Mass of Christ and also for your contribution to the
song Just Any One of Us. Glenn never got a
chance to hear the completed album. He passed away on March 9, 2000. Glenn was arguably one of the best lead
guitarists to come out of the Sacramento area.
He was a member of the Marauders, a happening group in the late 60’s that opened, among
others, for the Beach Boys and Rolling Stones. They went on to
sign with Electra Records and his group
would have been huge…except for this other group you may have heard of…The Doors. Together, Glenn and Frank Trujillo wrote several songs over the space of
several years. He was an exceptionally
talented composer and an incredible musician. He loved classical and liturgical
music as much as anything. “ Beethoven’s Ode to
Joy was a mutual favorite,” says Frank
Trujillo.
“ I saw him take a conductor’s score and laboriously
reconstruct—instrument by instrument—the entire symphony on Midi. Why?
He wanted to comprehend it, inside and out. Glenn was a genius. Glenn,
you are in a better place, now. You are
dearly missed, my friend.” Very special
thanks also to the many, many other people who gave voice to this project.
