'Dear D'Lana' is composed in memory of a childhood friend whose life was cut short due to an untimely accident. Its emotional depth symbolizes the pain, grief and reminiscences a family must go through while coping with loss. I witnessed it in the eyes and smiles of Herb and Mae Crenshaw as they prepared to live without D'Lana. A huge thanks goes to Ryan Cohen for his collaboration. The spanish feel exhibits Ryans "Chick Corea" and my "Sketches of Spain" influences.
