BRAND NEW ALBUM! -
An album based on a lifetime of love dedicated by Madeline Vergari to her late husband Roger Neumann.
Also available on all major streaming services and music websites.
“This Recording has been my dream project for so many years”
After losing my husband, Roger Neumann, in 2018, I knew I had to do this recording and dedicate it to him. The original recording date was March of 2020, but our country was shut down with the pandemic, so it had to be put on hold. I am so happy we were finally able to do this project with all of us in the studio. I know Roger is looking down and smiling.
I want to thank my two kids, Gina and Rico, for all their love and constant support throughout this project. They kept saying, “Mom, you have to do this!” Also, Samantha and Phil are always supportive and have my back. I love all four of these humans. Most importantly, thanks to Gina and Phil for all their wonderful artwork and ideas for the CD cover. They are quite a talented duo!
My arrangers have been an inspiration to me, including Tom Ranier, Brad Dechter, Doug Walter, Victor Vanacore, Scott Whitfield, the late Sammy Nestico, and of course, my love, Roger Neumann. I can’t thank them enough for doing their best work. I felt honored to sing their arrangements. Sue Raney has been a great support this past year as my mentor and dear friend. To my Concertmaster, Charles Bisharat, and Laura Brenes for putting together a fantastic orchestra section. Many thanks to Stan for coming back into my life. To Kirk and Jo Ann for all their unwavering support. I am very thankful to Rico, Gina, and Kirk, for their ears during all the mixing sessions. Of course, Damon Tedsco, my hero, was the very best and a dream to work with on this project. Finally, to Paul Blakemore who did a phenomenal job on mastering, My heart is so full!
Love you all!
Madeline
