MESSAGE FROM WAYNE
This collection features an introspective reminiscence of years gone by, experiences I’ve had and places I’ve been. The lyrics are personal and reflective, and espouse my own principles while paying tribute to those people who have touched me in some way. I hope the songs will inspire emotions for all who listen.
SPECIAL THANKS TO:
My countless friends and family members that comprise my “fan club” (you know who you are).
My dear friend and fellow Beatles aficionado, Tom Minner, for facilitating my private tour of Abbey Road Studios which inspired the song, “Abbey Road.”
Former Studio Manager at Abbey Road Studios, Colette Barber, for graciously hosting my visit there and providing a comprehensive, behind-the-scenes look at the history that framed the soundtrack of my life and inspired me to make music.
Released 2016

MESSAGE FROM WAYNE:
I dedicate this album to my wife, Tamara, the love of my life, and to our four magnificent children, Blaire, Ashley, Brian and Allison. Without their love, inspiration and support, this project would never have happened. Tamara, this was the best 60th birthday present I could have ever imagined
These songs, composed over many years, are deeply personal to me but I hope they are written in a way that will inspire thought and touch familiar ground for all who enjoy them
SPECIAL THANKS TO:
Blaire Scheier for saying “Dad, you’ve got to record this music”
Scott Leader for taking on my project and bringing my years of songwriting to life with his extraordinary talent as a musician, singer and producer
Howard Sperling for teaching me every chord on the piano all those years ago
Peter Noone, lead singer of the popular 60s group, Herman’s Hermits, for letting me into his world and singing backup on “I’ll Never Believe You Again”
Jeff Pitzer for challenging me to write “Standing Tall,” my tribute to the outstanding disabled athletes who play Power Wheelchair Soccer
Dominic and Karen Russo and all the athletes and families associated with the United States Power Soccer Association for inspiring the lyrics to, “Standing Tall”
