Phase Two - A New Beginning
This CD has been a long time in the making for me. Back in 1985, I had started to record 6 original songs. But at the time I was divorced and a single mom with two kids. It was hard to push forward on my music. So, like life, things get pushed aside for others, and life goes on.
Aug. 15 2001. I was traveling on the highway when out of nowhere, I was hit from behind. The guy that hit me, crushed his car up to his windshield, into the back of my van. God must have been with me on that day. The fact that I was driving an 8 passenger van, is the only reason I’m still here today. Being in constant pain, my life just stopped dead in its tracks. About 7 months go by, I’m still in constant pain, and having a hard time with my muscles, with walking and lifting. Being unable to do much of anything, I started to look through things.
This is where my new life’s journey begins. Phase Two! I found my old studio, 8 track, reel to reel. The only copy of my unfinished songs. Now the hard job was to find someone to get my music off this reel. It took a while but I did it.
While working on getting my music off the old reel, my two friends Claire and Sue were having a combined 40th birthday party, (invite was to an 80th.) So I decided to rewrite one of my songs and turn it into a Happy 40th Birthday Claire and Sue song, which I recorded with the old music track. That was my gift to them, which I did sing at the party. It took 3 1/2 years. But I’m proud to say I finally completed this CD, it only took my 19 years all together! I’m now working on my second CD. I promise, it will not take as long.
Special thanks to my family and friends. To everyone that helped me make this possible, and to all the people who never stopped believing in me.
I always say things happen in life for a reason. If I didn't get in this car accident I would of never finished my music. Life is a journey. Never let your dreams die. Mine are just beginning.
Thank you Liz Vibert
