I believe the album was recorded through the end of 1994 and the first part of 1995. Janina was pregnant not only with music and songs, but with her son Aidan while recording this CD.
Her husband TIM did the artwork.
I have a 2001 version and 2011 version. The order of the songs were changed in 2011. She and I were together in 2001 and I remember putting the new album cover together for her and making CD copies. And then in 2011 she was with a man named Paul, who did a new album cover, and finally got all of her songs on to CD baby and on Youtube!
Dedication from 2001 CD:
“This album is lovingly dedicated to my Father, Russell Desjarlais, who was a very talented musician, and to our beautiful unborn child who I carried while recording the album.
“Special thanks TO:
GOD, the creator, who first gave me this talent. Without you I wouldn’t be me.
OLAV RIXEN, my producer, for his incredible vision and many talents.
PETER ALLEN, I love you buddy, a long time friend, for graciously lending his talents on the piano on both COLOURS OF THE RAINBOW and BOOGIE WOOGIE BUGLE BOY.
