ABOUT THE CD ' More Than a Dream' is my first CD. I am an avid sailor and surfer. In 1992, I sailed to Mexico and cruised there for a year before returning to San Francisco. During that time I hooked up with a mandolin player, Steve Gale who was also sailing. Together we played yacht clubs and funky bars in Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallerta and La Paz. In Puerto Escondido, we did a gig with Jeff Cook, guitarist in the country/western band Alabama. One night, while anchored in the calm waters of Matanchan Bay, I wrote 'More Than a Dream.' The dolphins swimming around our boat and leaving their phosphorescent glow through the water inspired me. I also wrote 'Matanchan Bay Yacht Club Song,' about the other sailors we met. That song is not on the CD. But, if requested, I will sing it at my gigs. ' Desolation Cove' came about when my friend 'Sparky' asked Dana Messing (Cruise Tones) and me to play some surf tunes for a local TV spot. So I quickly wrote a fun song about a female surfer riding at a hidden surf spot. That one has become a favorite with all my young surfer friends. I wrote 'Arizona Bound' after driving to Sedona with a long time friend, Thea Vierling. Together with her brother and some students we set out for the Hopi Indian reservation and participated in building a structure for the Indians to store thier tribal costumes. I called my long time friend, guitarist/recording engineer, Garth Webber from Red Rooster Studio. He in turn introduced me to, Keyboardist/producer Tony Lufrano. Tony brought in drummer, Trey Sabatelli and bassist, Robin Sylvester (Rat Dog). With a solid rhythm section we added Dave Stone (Huey Lewis) on sax,. John Sepala laid down a piano part on 'Love Me Still,' Megan Lynch plays fiddle on 'Fragile', Dana Messing played a keyboard part on 'Desolation Cove', and Garth added a slide guitar part on 'Teaser' with Stephanie playing all the other electric and acoustic guitar parts. Stephanie also plays a flute part on 'Arizona Bound'. 'Music and the ocean are my spiritual fulfillment!' S.T.
