David Marquette says: “This album was started in 2018. I wrote these songs & wanted to record an album after many years away focusing on fatherhood & business. After we recorded basics. I found out I had stage 4 cancer. After beating that, Covid hit us all. Took time to heal and finished the album after several years of it being on hold. I had help from so many to finish this album. In 2025, close to finishing, Rich Mouser was starting to mix the last two tracks & the Altadena Fires took his beautiful studio & home. I waited for him to find a temporary work space because I really wanted him to be a part of this project. So this was not fast, or easy - but I got it done with “a little help from my friends.”
