Did you ever raise a finger?
Did you rise up at all?
Did you go down, guns a blazing,
Or did you go to the mall?

We really want you to listen to this record.

This record is the fruit of countless hours of our determination, sweat, passion and sacrifice. This collection took years to write, hundreds of hours away from our families rehearsing, arranging, polishing and practicing. This has definitely been a labor of love. We are truly blessed to be able to do this thing we love so much, this far down the line, and to have such rich, enduring friendships. Thank you for sharing this with us.

If I had three days left to live, and could speak to the world, I would talk a lot about having hope, having faith, about treating other people right, about being fearless, about shifting perceptions, and about letting go of all that old junk that just isn’t working for you anymore. I would tell people to take a stand, to jump out there in trust—that nothing matters here but how we have treated other people, how honest we have been; how true we have been to what we were put here for, and how much we have loved. I would want to appreciate beauty; and, of course, I would want to tell a lot of people that I loved them. As always, I would want to rock the blues for a while, and I’d want to laugh (See tune transitions). So, this record is as much about the mood as it is the content.

It’s important for me to confess that it’s really all about my personal growth. It is about me waking up. Still, most lessons are universal. I pray you all find something here that applies to you in your own lives. I hope it is an uplifting source of hope, laughter, reflection and happiness for everyone it touches…and I hope you crank it up nice and loud and ROCK!

God Bless,

Page Jackson
