Many of these songs have been around awhile. Afterland and Just Be You were written in 1986. Blue World was written in 1994. After my diagnosis of colon cancer in 2021, I wrote Who Wrote This Script? and decided to record some songs I thought deserved to be heard.

Many of these songs have been around awhile. Afterland and Just Be You were written in 1986. Blue World was written in 1994. After my diagnosis of colon cancer in 2021, I wrote Who Wrote This Script? and decided to record some songs I thought deserved to be heard. For the most recent recordings I called on Brook Adams (guitar), Paul Biondi (sax, flute) and Kris Thomas (drums / from his studio in Maui). Also included here are a bunch of unreleased recordings I made with The Northwest Express, the group I made my previous two CDs with, Ralph Novak (guitar), Kriss Crowley (vocals), Kathy Burleson (vocals, violin), Linda Kanter (sax, flute), Sean Brennan (drums) and Mike Hatgis (bass). Three other long-time friends and collaborators, Rich Glauber (Accordion, bass), Paul Safar (Melodica, vocals) and Jeremy Wegner (Mandolin) also added their talents to the recordings. Many thanks to all involved in helping me make these recordings including my partner Janice Medvin.

FREE WHEN I DREAM

This is a song written by Ben Bochner. I made some subtle changes to the original version. It is amazing to me how the lyrics relate to what is happening today with immigration and so many people dreaming of becoming U.S. citizens. Of course the lyrics are broader than that and have as many meanings as there are listeners. I would love to hear

This is a song written by Ben Bochner. I made some subtle changes to the original version. It is amazing to me how the lyrics relate to what is happening today with immigration and so many people dreaming of becoming U.S. citizens. Of course the lyrics are broader than that and have as many meanings as there are listeners. I would love to hear your thoughts on this recording. My friend Ralph (Slim) Novak recorded me at his studio and I mixed it. It was a chance for me to play acoustic guitar, sing and play harmonica and perform the song solo and all in one take. Thank you Ben for the gift of your songs... RIP.
