Deborah Henson-Conant - Caught In The Act
For my grandparents, Anna Bella and Piano Man Sam and for all their dreams.
For Jack and Barbara, who took me to the happy waters at Lammermuir Spring. They held the cup of sweet sadness to my lips when they waved goodbye.
As always, for Susan who believes: for the wonderful Aunt Gloria, who risks: and for Janet, who dances in the golden Honeytime.
For Jochen and his magic strings.
For Lany Rosen and Chadie Rose, who brought me to the Night of the Roses.
And in loving memory at Pat, whose artist’s hands reflected the longing of her head.
Special thanks to Chieli, George and Paul: to all the artists who poured their talents isto making this record; to everyone at GRP; to all my friends and relatives who encouraged me in my happy madness: and to the Wickliffe household for creating a peaceful place for my heart as well as my harp.
A few can touch the Magic String
And noisy Fame is proud to win them.
Alas for those who never sing
And die with all their music in them.
— Oliver Wendell Holmes
May we all have many chances to touch the magic string.
— Deborah Henson-Conant
I would also like to thank the musicians for their tasty performances; Rosonno Vitro for her hospitality and encouragement; John Stannard of OM Percussion for sending even more instruments to George!; and most of all, my wife Janice, for her patience yet again!
