Liner Notes:
From Diane: I’ve always taken my time releasing music. This particular recording took a bit longer than my “normal” because early on in the creative recording process, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. After surgery and throughout what felt like endless months of treatment, I tried my best to chip away at it’s completion alongside the unwavering friendship and boundless talent of the album’s co-producer, Jack Shawde. The completion of this album represents the several lifelines thrown to me during a very difficult time, as well as the love and support of my close friends and family. I am profoundly grateful and I crazy love you all. Thank you Rose, Jack Shawde, Debbie Duke, John Merchant, Brian Franklin, John Yarling, Bob Taylor, Nicole Yarling, Eileen Hochberg, Amy Turkel, Mom, Dad, Harriet, Sis, Ray, Auntie Linda, Vinnie G, LuLu, Alexis & Keith, Luna Star Cafe, Magda Hiller, Henke Milne, Lydia, Carol, Anna, Dar, Max & Tracey, Dr. Angeleke Saridakis, Dr. Mark Chin-Lenn, Dr. Ney Alves, and countless other wonderful friends & fans (you know who you are). Every single one of you have graced my life by showing me your heart.
