Details:
This CD, âThese are Tears of Joyâ was born out of a deep desire of daughter and father to express, in some way, the emotion
experienced by them, and millions of others as they realized
that after some three hundred years of oppression, change
had come. The people of the United States of America, on November 4, 2008 elected their first black president. Hope with Dad, is hoping that this musical offering will become part of this
outstanding histoical event.

Dad (Rick) has never forgotten that time, when on a hot day in August, 1963 he walked for freedom, arm in arm with thousands of men and women, girls and boys of all races, through the streets of, Washington, DC to the Lincoln Memorial site where he found a seat on the grassy lawn as he heard with his own ears and saw with his own eyes, Dr. Martin Luther King offer his now famous, âI have a Dreamâ speech.
Dad also remembers other times and other places. Places where he experienced first hand the results of the inequity perpetrated on him and his people solely because of the color of their skin.

And so daughter and father have come together with, âAnd We The Peopleâ musically, to invite you to share and understand, if you can, the joy expressed in their âTears of Joyâ because of the achievement of one of their own, in becoming the icon of hope and perserverance realized. They hope that as you listen to these most special compositions you will not only have a beautiful musical experience but also an enlightened experience.
