The album, a Danger to Myself and Others, came together through working with two of my oldest and dearest friends, Chris Amelar and Rob Melosh. We were in the same bands, back in the late ‘70s/early ‘80s.
The purpose of this album is to tell my story, so that others who can relate can be comforted by knowing that they are not alone, and that there is a path to a happy life. There is a severe mental health crisis in the world right now. Since Covid, mental health resources are overwhelmed, and there are not enough professionals to meet the demands of the public. As a result, people can’t get the treatment they need and suffer deeply. It is my goal to raise awareness of this issue, and to encourage anyone reading this to consider a career in psychological health care. This album was written in anger, pain, and despair, but in the end, it came together with love, friendship, and recovery.
