Our first song was \"Safari Mitzi.\" Over the years, we've gained a wealth of musical knowledge and expertise from arrangements by Frank Metis, Noah Luna, Alexis Lamb, and Michael Gancz. Frank, in particular, took me under his wing like a father, providing the encouragement I needed when I first started out. I've also composed several songs on my own, and all of them are original, just like Carolyn's lyrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ep\u0026gt;\u003cp\u003eThis collection represents my love songs, carefully curated. I deliberately avoid writing commercially mundane songs for the younger iPhone generation, who often prefer loud noise with booming effects produced on a computer using drum machines. It's not just about creating hits in genres like country, hip-hop, or rap; sentimentality doesn't always resonate these days. While some of my songs may seem outdated, they come straight from the heart. Perhaps people will appreciate them even a hundred years from now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ep\u0026gt;\u003cp\u003eIn the illustrations by Jason Fowler, I've woven a story around Catherine, leaving the mystery open for the audience's interpretation.
