Shadow of a Fading Dream
(2023)
Shadow of a Fading Dream is dedicated to my wife, Leslie. Without her I would be “more than lost”. All these songs are better because of her. None would exist without her. I’m also dedicating this album to my father, Bill Wigley, who is mentioned in the song “Ventana Wilderness”. As I wrote in Ventana Wilderness, “I’m grateful for these things I never thought I’d see”.
