   I’d like to thank my family and friends for all the 
support they’ve given me throughout my mid-life crisis. I 
would also like to thank those of you who only know me through 
music (believe me, you will know me even better after you listen 
to this CD!) for asking, “Where are you performing next?” Thanks 
for eagerly awaiting and buying this CD. Finally, I’d like to 
thank everyone at Dynamic and the musicians who gave their time 
and musical voice to this project, especially my patient and 
multi-talented musical partner, Allen Hopkins, who has a few 
eloquent words of his own to add....

                                   Bonnie

   Though Bonnie and I have been making music together for more than a 
quarter of our lives, this is our first real duet recording — though I’ve 
guested” on two of her solo efforts, and shared the stage hundreds of times, 
in our duo and also in our trio with Glenna Chance, Love And Knishes. Bonnie 
is an absolute joy to work with — a talented songwriter, a solid guitarist, 
and a warm stage presence, gifted with an exceptional voice, and always ready 
to lend her talents to a good cause or a good friend. Over our years together, 
I’ve seen many of the “changes in life” about which she writes: marriage, 
family, new house, new career, and dozens of new songs. 
   When we decided to do this album, we wanted to include fuller arrangements 
than we can do in live performance, so I dragged a dozen or more cases out of 
my basement and into the studio, becoming a one-man bluegrass band, Hawaiian 
combo or blues trio as the music required. I hope you like the result. Despite 
Bonnie’s recurrent angst about her “midlife crisis,” we stay happy and harmonious, 
anticipating many more years of writing, playing and singing together — for, as 
Bonnie sang on her first album, “Old folkingers never die, no matter how much time goes by!”
