I started seriously writing my own music 12 years ago.The motivation for this particular album came from a dream I had. The short of it is that I was given a message that said, "You 've been given a second chance to get things right." I knew it was referring to my mission in life. As a teenager, I had a band in Tampa, FL called Lemon Fog. It was my greatest desire to become a rock musician, but the band broke up and my life took a turn away from music. The dream I had put me back on my path to create something beautiful and meaningful through my music. The song Promise Land came to me as I was asleep one night. Something very powerful woke me up, and I was given the music. My wife was awakened at the same time, and we were both given lyrics to this song. The message I am trying to deliver is --take time to destress, feel good and uplifted. When we can feel these things for ourselves, others can feel our energy and perhaps transform their feelings into something more positive. Eric Maienza I started playing bass in 1995. I moved to Atlanta in 1996 to attend the Atlanta Institute of Music. I met Eric in 1998 and the rest is history. Randy Brown
