Details:
This incredible album was recorded at Frontier Studios in Copemish, MI, in a remodeled barn surrounded by rolling green hills and wildflowers. The beauty and peacefulness of the countryside lent its magic to the creation of "My Little World". Like the music itself, it was just meant to be.
This was not an individual project but a compilation of talent and creativity. The musicians on this album were given free reign to create what they "heard", to "paint a picture" or "tell a story" that takes the listener beyond the music to the heart of why we write. The songs and the music tell a story sometimes beyond our ability to articulate.

Rick wrote "My Little World" about how we met and chose to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. I wrote "Surrender" after fifteen years of opening our home to children at-risk, and the helplessness that sometimes accompanied that decision. "Water Meets the Sky" is about relationships and how we so often see the same things but can''t get past how different our perceptions are. "Shut It All Down" tackles the frustration of depression and "Wish You Enough" is about leaving a legacy based on what you did, not what you said. The chorus "when you walked down the winding road of life, did you leave behind a little light, and can they follow the wisdom of your love, will it be enough?" speaks to the idea that we can only truly teach by example. "Tongue Ring Girl" is our comic relief, and you will definately laugh. "Missing You Now" is powerful for survivors of violence. Lonely Too Long is our soul sucking blues tune and Lastly, "Carry You Home" was the catalyst for recording this album and it is dedicated to my grandfather, who recently went home. It is simply three part harmony in an old barn, just us and the crickets.

Summerson began when Rick and I met playing music and gave birth to a little girl. We had no idea how exceptionally talented she would be. Savannah decided we would be summerson or (summer''s on) when at thirteen she began playing festivals with us and recording. She lends the third harmony to our songs and she plays all the violin parts on the album, she also plays piano, mandolin, and a "little guitar". She amazes us every day with her huge heart for people and the environment, and her unending talent.

A huge thank you to the people who offered their gifts to this project:
Brad Novak on drums and percussion, Andy Evans on upright and electric bass, Laura Cai on cello, Savannah Buist on violin and harmony vocals, Matt Mansfield on electric guitar, Jeff Rose on madolin, Rick plays piano, accoustic guitar, slide guitar, organ, lead and harmony vocals, I am singing lead and harmony vocals.

All the songs are written and produced by Rick, Savannah, and I.
Engineered and Mastered at Frontier Studios, Copemish, MI, by Scott Zylstra
