It’s a favorite phrase of his whenever we finish a track that captures the artist in sync with the overall sound/spirit we’ve been looking for on this album. “That was golden,” he’d say, and we knew he meant it. Well, without Kendall we wouldn’t be where we are today, on the verge of putting out a fantastic album, chocked full of uplifting music! Not only is the listener invited into a new life of hope in heart & soul; you’re also learning about children caught in the crossfire of domestic violence and being challenged to listen, advocate and protect the most vulnerable among us.

Kendall’s easygoing personality has been a huge blessing. It’s not just anybody that can corral this many people into one project (all tolled, there are well nigh 3 dozen people involved!). Simply put: Ken’s just nice, gol durn it! And he knows his stuff. He knows what’s going to work and what might need tweaking to get it just right. Did I mention that he plays guitar & synth on several tracks, too?

Ken has left his mark on just about every song on this album! He believed in this project from the start, though neither of us imagined it would grow to what it has become. So… now that the official recording sessions are over, the mixing and mastering of each track is under way, thanks to our ‘golden’ producer, Kendall Johnson. I salute you, kind sir!

Kendall Johnson can be reached through KJM Studios.
