I love how memories work
on the creative mind. One of my favorites is of my
father, taking me to my first pro baseball game. He
was the only guy in the crowd singing the national
anthem at the top of his voice. As a nine year old
attempting to be somewhat cool, I found my
adolescent size to be an advantage in concealment
as I was sure all 40,000 fans were staring at my
intensely patriotic, but 'corny' dad. I've since
grown to both understand and deeply appreciate what
he was so fired up about.
When I first heard
'America Our Country, America Our Home,' I was
immediately moved by an appropriate tribute to
those lost on September 11. However, after a few
more days, the melody continued to work on my
subconscious mind.
Then it hit me. I was
listening to a contemporary American anthem! As a
musician & producer, it became obvious I had no
choice but to start recording. In fact, I couldn't
sleep until I was satisfied I had something that
did justice to Maryann's heartfelt lyrics. It was
pure emotion for me. I was simply reminded how
proud, grateful and lucky I am to be an American,
enjoying a good life. The power of Ron &
Maryann's song brought home my personal connection
in discovering that reality firsthand. I really do
love how memories work on the creative mind. My dad
knew it.
Thank you, Ron &
Maryann, for the gift.
