about

Every now and then, if you are lucky, you find someone in your life who brings everything together. This may or may not be a soul mate or close friend, but it will probably be someone whom exists on the periphery of what you do (sometimes even by accident). For me, that person is Randy Gildersleeve. He is the glue holding my musical life together. I first met him 14 years ago when my first band recorded at his home studio in Forest Lake, MN. I've done 90% of my recordings there, and really don't want to record anywhere else. Randy has made some fantastic suggestions over the years, so I've learned to trust his instincts. I really don't enjoy recording and would much rather play live, so it's wonderful to have someone there to tell me when I need more or what I have is enough. This song in particular has Randy all over it--he had his niece Kelsey play the integral rain stick part, he found the perfect effect for my cello solo, and also named this track "Cairo" because of it's Middle-Eastern sound (rather than my original sinister title, "Murder By Numbers").
