Program Notes:

I've known Joey Thompson since summer 2017 when he participated in my annual summer chamber music recital. I recently visited him out in Utah, my third time in the state. Coming from the Midwest, I am in awe every time of how there are just - mountains, right there! Everywhere! I wrote the lyrics on the plane ride back to O'Hare and set them the next couple days. He is a very close friend and so important in my life; this is a Christmas gift for him.
