about

Remixed, remastered and reissued, May, 2021.

I first "met" Kevin Sweeney in 2009, when Patrick Lajeunesse, founder of Peace Partners, asked me if I'd produce one of Kevin's songs for that project. You'll notice I placed "met" in quotes. That's because Kevin lives in Glasgow, Scotland, while I'm a lifetime resident of the good, ol' U.S. of A. This big puddle called the Atlantic Ocean separates us. Consequently, we didn't actually "meet". Not really. Technology, however, allowed us to exchange ideas and files over the Internet and successfully complete that initial collaboration.

Anyway, that first song quickly became two songs...then three songs...then four songs...then...well, you get the picture. Over the past five years, Kevin and I have recorded ten albums together in our shared musical identity of "Gypsies in Cyberspace".

It would be less-than-honest to say Kev and I hit it off immediately. I thought Kev was a "wee stand-offish", as he might say in his distinctive Scottish accent...and I suspect Kev thought I was obnoxious and pushy. (I am, but that's another story, for another time and place.)

Along the way, we also overcame our initial misconceptions about one another. In addition to being musical collaborators, we've become friends. (Okay, I overcame my misconceptions; Kev probably still thinks I'm obnoxious and pushy.) Thank God for Skype and other Internet-based communication tools. If not for these modern miracles, we'd spend a small fortune on Trans-Atlantic phone calls, every month.

An ocean still separates us, and we've still never met...as in, without the quotes. That'll happen, someday, I hope. In the meantime, it's my pleasure to present to the world my friend and musical compadre, Kevin Sweeney. By way of introduction, I give you these twelve amazing songs -- which Kev conceived and then graciously permitted me to midwife into final form.

Listen to my friend, folks. He has a lot to say...and a creatively satisfying way of saying it.

Enjoy...
