My first studio album of the 21st century is at the manufacturer’s and ready to go. The title comes from a line in “Country of Exiles:” Brothers, stay with me until we must part; Sisters, stay with me until we must part. Many thanks to everyone who answered that plea: the players (Buffie Groves, Martin Grosswendt, Matt Castilla), the art director Maura O’ Connell, and various crucial enablers noted on the cover. Watch this space for ordering information.
