Liner Notes:

Quarantine provided the creative space to write eight pieces. Some on piano, some on guitar. Mike had been coming by and we were playing our songs to each other. He came by a week or so later and asked me to play Mahogany again. He liked it, wanted to produce it, and here we are. The lyrics came at the same time as the melody, pretty much in a trance, looking out the window at King Street and the St. Johns River. I like when it happens like that :) It was all done remotely.
