THE ALBUM

By Michael Skinner

The idea of performing as a solo artist is foreign to me. As a drummer, I have always performed with bands, and I prefer the idea of a band. So we approached the making of this album as a band project. I believe we accomplished that in the making of this album, even with the very busy and sometimes conflicting schedules of the musicians involved. Somehow, it all came together. I thank them and I thank God for this opportunity.

TRAIN OF TEARS

The songs contained in this album truly reflect a labor of love, sweat, and tears. Due to the severe sexual, physical and emotional abuse I endured as a child, my life has been effected in so many ways. But I never could have imagined the mis-treatment and abuse I experienced later on in life as an adult, when I was given a diagnosis several years ago of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Major Depression. The subsequent loss of family, friends and business associates was crippling in and of itself. Due to the prejudice, the fears and the stigma of mental illness, you find your life being changed dramatically. You are treated as a second class citizen by so many. I can now understand what others experience due to the color of their skin, their race, their religion, and their creed. It is more than just an unpleasant experience.

They say when the going gets tough, you find out who your true friends are. I am very, very fortunate to have such great friends, some of whom appear on this album. I hope this album can help change some peoples perceptions of those with mental health issues.
