"My romance with the harp began many years ago, and I'm more in love than ever. My new romance is my husband Dan who joins me on three of the love songs. We met in 1992, and very soon after we realized we had found our soul mates. As a pilot, Dan has had his wings for a long time. He says he has finally found his angel. Well, this angel has at last found her wings! Our love is the inspiration for this project. The selections on the recording are favorites of ours and our friends." ~ Sydney
