Thank you to Suz Slezak for her gentle, maternal, patient, and experimental way of being, which made the production process become some of the best days of my life. Thank you to my children for tolerating so many days and nights at the piano, burning the sweet potatoes while I concentrated. Thank you to Katherine Nies for teaching me a new way to understanding music, and for encouraging me even when I was croaking out a sad, new song. Thank you to Shelley Faulkner, for loving me in a way that I can believe, and for offering her endless talents to this record. Thank you to my parents, for gifting me piano lessons my whole childhood, for giving me a keyboard that I cherish, and for letting me be a little bit lost as I draw my own map. Thanks to David Wax, to Anna, to Katie, to Summer, to NB, and to all the universe lessons.
