The recordings vary, sometimes the songs are performed all by me. One of my oldest musical friends Jimmy Sage can be heard playing drums on many of the tracks.( He also can be scene touring with Lee Rocker around the world). I have also the good fortune to work live and in the studio on my music with the follow artists and friends. Shawn Rorie, Dana Miller, Pat Wilsey, Pete Nuessman, David Tucker, David Nowlin.

Loving 'Hallowed Ground'! 1st time I've heard the whole thing thru...hint hint. ; ) Due to technical difficulties "Beautiful Like You" has been mistakenly lost and replaced by 'Hey Jude' on my page??? And I'm unable to delete it! Nice! Hopefully this new takeover will turn out to be a good thing for the little people. Hope all's well... xo, Melise
Hey Dev, how are you? I love the pics of the twins!! Let's get together soon and write some more. I am performing at Room 5 on July 13 and I would love it if you and Kristin could come. I know it's hard with the youngsters but you are definitely invited! xo, Penny
Happy Belated Birthday, Daddy Dev! Hope the move is going well...let me know when you guys are all settled in? I need your address to send you a cd! I think you'll like it. ; ) OH! And, I'm still waiting on your cd's you said you'd send me like a year ago?! Ya know, cuz I know you're not busy at all!! Love to your darlings, & remember to BREATHE...moving's a bitch... Melise
Hi Dev, Thank you for all the awesome music over the years and for letting me 'borrow' a couple for the new cd. ; ) Big Kisses to those deeelicious babies from me! Can't wait to meet them! All the very best, Melisa
Merry Christmas Eve, Devin! I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season with Kristin and the kids. Your video that you sent of them was too cute for words. Can't wait to start working together again after the 1st! Warmest holiday wishes, Penny
