14 - Touch Is Fire

These songs came from several wonderful recording sessions at Albert Garcia's Whiskey Springs Studio in Wilsonville, OR.  Albert's gentle demanor and steady hand made these sessions a delight to experience, and his fine self-designed studio brought out a warm and rich sound.
Accompaniment by John Richter, Tom Carter and Whitney McCann brought these tracks to a higher level than I ever could have myself, and I am eternally grateful to all who contributed to these recordings.

In the purest tradition of Invisible Disk Records, the material in this collection has never been formally released.  Much of it was forgotten in the 30+ years since it was recorded. An eclectic mix.
