The title of this CD comes from MJ Williams's poignant lyrics for Pat Metheney's Hermitage, the band's favorite cut from the project. I found a strange little ostinato to play on the song.

Our friend from Colorado, Colleen O'Brian, sang her words to Jaco Pastorios' Three Views of a Secret at a concert in Montana. MJ wanted to do the song and I came up with an arrangement that I hoped Jaco would appreciate.

Sometime Ago is a song I've played many times in a duo with basist Kelly Roberti. The band decided to include a few duets on this CD and Kelly and I agreed that this tune would be ours.
