A big THANK YOU to the
“Say It Like You Mean It” Recording Team:
I’d like to express my ultimate gratitude to the 6 people who helped me to create this amazing recording for this Anthology, so I’m gonna “Say It Like I mean It!”…
Bill LaFleur - Thank you for collaborating with me on this tune. This song started with a clothing ad I got in an email, subject line “Say It Like You Mean It”, which has nothing to do with clothing or fashion, but I thought it would make a good title. I gave it to you and you happened to be watching a film called “The Mephisto Waltz” and got a lyric inspiration from that. That opened the floodgates of your creativity and the lyrics sprung to life from you. The music came pretty quick after, and I shared it with you and we both worked it out at the piano. Your arrangement and production is wonderful, especially the cellos, the catchy synth line in the chorus, and of course the guitars. I am so glad this song has come to life.
Marcie Free - My forever friend with the voice of the ages, I am so over the moon that you have graced us with your golden voice after 25 years and now our newest collaboration has been born. I love you dearly and so enjoyed us working together again. You said you were gonna’ kill it and you did…Thanks a million!
Jeff Silverman - Once again, thank you for ALL the time, energy, strategy, and flexibility in bringing this song to fruition. Your professionalism, knowledge, patience, and creative ideas have always been admired and appreciated. We created something I will always remember and be proud of.
Nate Morton - Drummer extraordinaire! What energy you bring to this song, and incredible groove, powerful playing, and I am in awe of how much experience you bring to the session. And, a super stellar person, too. Just so happy you are on this.
JK Northrup - You come in at the end, and in the end, you are the “Master” Jedi of Mastering! Thank you for this and all the other songs that you were willing to endure, 8 CDs worth, and still come out on top with our new tune!
Andrew McNiece - First, I want to thank you for saving all the Kangaroos and Wallabies down under, second, I want to thank you for saving all my songs from sitting on dusty shelves, on old DAT tapes and reel to reels, you truly are a life savior, and this song is no exception. Thank you for seeing this long, long project through.
