I always wanted to do a duet project. Last year, my wife Deb called my attention to an online video of Susan Cowsill singing solo. Wow! Some of my fave female vocalists include Lady Day, Doris Day, Dusty, Karen, Gaga, Adele and now I must include Susan. Last year, on our Happy Together Tour, I heard her sing night after night, and I knew I’d found my duet partner. As we were coming off stage one night, I asked Susan if she’d be willing to record a song with me. She said yes, and that idea eventually grew into this project. I’m lovin’ it – hope you do too!

Way back in 1968, I considered myself the luckiest girl on the planet! I got to tour with the cutest most grooviest boys in the land, and I’m not just talking about my brothers! One of those “boys” was Mark Lindsay! I used to storm his dressing room, try on his Raider hat and boots, occasionally get him engaged in a game of Jax (that’s how I trapped all my boys back then) and basically stalked the poor guy as only an eight-year-old preteen girl could! I never dreamed that someday we would be great friends and musical comrades to boot! When Mark asked me to do this project I was both flattered and tickled, to say the least! It turns out that our connection goes way beyond child’s play to a musical kinship that I think quite surprised us both! I love what we have created here and know y’all will too !
