Taking You Out to See the Stars

Another compendium of truths, and lies, and make-believe, composed in bits and pieces over the last four or five years.


My late wife, Jill, suggested that "Taking You Out to See the Stars" should be the title song of this third album. As part of a tribute to her related to the song, the star centered on the cover is Muphrid (a/k/a eta Bootis), which is about 37 light-years from Earth. Jill and I were married 37 years ago.
