Liner Notes

In the Fall of 2010 my friend Chris Devine and I traveled to Toronto, Canada with my Guild and 
a notebook with 10 new songs. My friend/producer, Dan Cutrona was waiting for us at the gate

converted into a recording studio where we were greeted by owner/engineer, Brent Bodrug.

The studio is a live-in facility and for the next three days we recorded 10 guitar/vocal tracks.  The project was originally titled "Love and Geology" but after cutting "Jigsaw Monet" Dan and Brent suggested that the title track should be "Jigsaw Monet." I agreed.    Read More
