The idea for this CD arose in the Fall of 2006. I wanted to release an album of love songs for Valentine's Day. Alas, through too much procrastination, that goal totally fell through. It was put on the back burner until... Valentine's Day, when I leaped head first into this project with all my heart.

Love. I've been in love. I've felt myself floating on it's wings and sang to the angels in thanks. Once upon a time, I was a hopeless romantic. But I don't like being hopeless. So I became a hopeful romantic. I began looking for love and found myself falling. The challenge I discovered is that just because I'm in love doesn't not mean we are meant to be together. Our differences may segregate us and keep us from achieving whatever holy state of being may exist from a "perfect" romance.

And perhaps THAT is the real challenge. My expectation. There are ups and downs, ins and outs in love. It's not all romantic love songs. That's why when I began to choose the love songs I wanted to record, I decided to keep it real. To cover a wide variety of love that is not all flowers and candy. Some times it's filled with heartbreak. Other times, it's comical. Still other times it's unreal, mystical.

That's what this CD is about. A Tribute to LOVE! is an album of love songs. There are some folk songs about love, and then there are some songs from my own experience. But they are all from my experience. These are the songs I love to sing when I want to feel romance in my life. And I hope others will find them just as romantic.

The album is still in the production, but here are some of the songs I hope to include on the CD:

1. They Call Me Crazy
2. Froggie Went A-Courtin'
3. Star of the County Down
4. Heart and Soul
5. The Gosling Reborn
6. A Faint Heart
7. Another Lonely Night
8. When She Held Me In Her Arms
9. Liquid Sunshine
10. Here's to the Dreamers
11. Wild Mountain Thyme
12. Tiziano Gunn
13. Silhouette of Longing Love
14. The Hobbit Journey Home
    

These may not be the songs that end up on the final. There might be a few changes, but keep reading here and you'll find out the latest on how to pick up a copy of this CD.
