This Album features the composition "Roger's Film," which is a tribute to the late film critic, Roger Ebert. Roger Ebert spent his career at the Chicago Sun-Times, starting as a young graduate from the University of Illinois and continuing through his fight and struggle with thyroid cancer. Throughout his life, Roger Ebert embodied the optimism of the American spirit which I tried to incorporate in this musical tribute.

Finally, "Electric Snow" is an album that I began working on five years ago. Throughout this process I have collaborated with dozens of musicians, multiple composers, arrangers and recording engineers, all of whom have brought their specific talents, skills, and expertise to this momentous project. Without them, "Electric Snow" would not have been possible. Therefore, I would like to offer my thanks to the following individuals:

• Ari Fisher- Arranger and Orchestrator
• Jim Reeves - Recording Engineer
• Dr. Jeffrey Kowalkowski - Conductor and Composer
• Ben Davis - Arranger
• Dean Landon - Producer and Recording Engineer
• And to the dozens of musicians for their performances.

It has been an honor working with these top-notch artists. I look forward to the opportunity to working with them again soon and to share in our continued success in making great music. Thank you.
