This goes out to the family members of lost ones, FDNY and especially the 5 people who survived the collapse of the towers. It’s a song I played drums on for singer/songwriter Erika Simonian who lives in the city. Although this song was not written for the event, it is oddly relevant to me now, like so many other songs. Erika is a kind, giving person like so many other New Yorkers. When I was living in Boston and playing with the band Flexie, she let us crash at her place when we played gigs in the village and she a shining example of selflessness that New Yorkers have demonstrated again and again, especially during the tragic events of 9/11. I think it comes across in her music.

I hope it finds some special meaning in your heart.

And this is a top-notch studio where Silver Needle just recorded our latest EP!
Marc Greene is one of the best engineers I have had the pleasure of working with and is good friends with our producer Gary Tharp. He has recorded Jim Keltner (kneel before Zod) and Greg Bisonette, as well as many others. So I knew I was gonna get great sounds. Marc delivers!
