2008 looked like it might be a tough year for bridge songs. A motel fire moved the Songwriters out to Beach Harbor Resort (Thanks Beach Harbor!) where, though it looked like a toy in the distance, the bridge still managed to inspire. A week of rain brought out images of water and a feeling of wanting to "get across." Taking inspiration where they could find it, the writers rose once again to the challenge, producing a brilliant rainbow of songs as impressive for its cohesiveness as for its diversity. Selecting only fourteen for this disc wasn't easy! Thanks to the writers and to the volunteers who donated hour upon hour to see this through. This collection would not have been possible without your love and support! Special thanks to Christie Weber for her unwavering vigilance and dedication. And thanks finally to the bridge herself, for bringing us all together! xo, p Produced by pat mAcdonald, the engineers, and the artists themselves Recorded June 9-14, 2008 by Steve Hamilton and Travis Kasperbauer at Beach Harbor Resort Sturgeon Bay, WI Engineering and technical support: Steve Hamilton, Travis Kasperbauer, pat mAcdonald, Chris Aaron, Billy Triplett, Kevin Horvath, Dan O Stoffels Mixed at Makin' Sausage Music (Milwaukee, WI) Mastered by Travis Kasperbauer, Steve Hamilton, and pat mAcdonald at Master Blaster (Madison, WI) Studio assistance: Mark Addison, Bryan Ciruillo, Ben Dowland, melaniejane, Dan O Stoffels, Shawn Tanimoto Graphic Design by Joe Kaftan, Greg Welsh Guitar Illustration by Arketype Bridge Illustration by Niki Kaftan Collage Illustration by ADMACK Dedicated in loving memory to Paulie Rocco (1962-2009)
