"The Rose" represents not only a beautiful song but a significant symbol in my life...that of love. Several months ago I had an unforgettable dream about a white rose and five single petals. For me, this powerful dream signified a release of the old and a loving rebirth of the new.
As the months went by and I pondered this message, I happened upon roses and petals everywhere. Just before the printing of this recording, a friend named Rosa died (within days of the deaths of Princess Diana and Mother Teresa). Two days later, a friend's baby named Leanna Rose was born. In church the same week, a baby boy was baptized. Because all the baptisms I'd ever witnessed used water, I was taken by surprise when the child was baptized with rose petals.
I dedicate "Stormy Weather" to my father, "Edelweiss" to my mother and "Candle In The Wind" to Princess Diana. And I thank my invisible friend and mentor, Liberace. Although he may not know it, we've had some good times playing the piano together in my imagination.
