Sorry it took so unbelievably long, but I love the way it turned out. Special Thanks to all who helped me with getting this record accomplished: **My KimAnn and kids for their patience and love. * my brother Luis Resto - whom I've spent a life-time with creating, playing and laughing. May it never stop. * my musical brother Dave Tatro - for all your time, motivation, creative input, support, and incredibly tolerant family. Thanks Edie!!! Hope nobody's hearing has been effected. * Peter "Madcat" Ruth - for coming over and absolutely "tearing it up". What a cool afternoon. * Claire Derks - for your wonderful voice and helping me get "real" female vocals in the mix. * Steve King - for lending me your mandolin. I have got to get one of those! * My son Dominic - for being my drum recording engineer. You have no idea how much I enjoy your help. Love You. * Pam W. Holmes and Guillermo Resto - for the concept and design layout of this disc package. Thanks for all your time, input and patience Pam. * Todd Fairall - for all your incredible mixes. Glad you knew what Johns e-mail meant. ( love ya "Yosh") * Joe Strange - for your great mix of "Astro Boy". * Eric and Marilyn Morgeson (Studio A) - felt great to be mixing in the big room again. Thanks Eric for mastering this collection for me. * Dann Holmes - for your never-ending friendship, support and belief in my music. You've heard the complete evolution and haven't stopped listening yet. Thanks.
This record is dedicated to my family and friends (of course the G.C.C.) and to the memory of my father Andres Resto-Soto and friend Denny Burton.
If I could, I would move a mountain for you
With the slight of my hand, make the problems go away
But I'm only one man, with one plan
That's to see your life
In a world where no-one cares about Brother to Brother
I'm a lonely man walking in a desert of hate
But you're the arms that I run to
When all of the world has run me through
And I need some Life
'cause You've got a smile that lights up the night
And touches my soul
Makes me feel completely Alive .....
And it's for you
That I am
I'm only one.....I'll give my life
"Alive" : dedicated to Annalise and Dominic
The "2MCD Project" is the live vehicle for my music. Dave and I had been getting together and playing the tunes in a 2 man fashion. Wanting to have more of the full band feel around us I began laying down backing tracks for us to perform with. It's an easily portable and hard hitting show. Thank you for spending time listening to RADIO.
