Made In America






During this project Karen fell in love...




Made In America CD Cover "I had taken 1979 off for personal reasons but allowed plenty of time to listen to the numerous songs being submitted. Karen, wanting to stay active, decided to travel to become bi-coasted and record a solo album with producer Phil Ramone. (Karen later decided not to release it). By spring of 1980 we were underway on "Made in America" and ended up recording far more tunes than would fit on one album. During this project Karen fell in love and got married. As a result, the album was not finished until spring of 1981."

As a child I was known for makes-believing
All alone I created fantasies
As I grew people called it self deceiving
But my heart helped me hold the memories

As I walk through the world I find around me
Something new yet familiar's in the air
I feel it everywhere

Like a child's eyes on a Christmas night
I'm looking at you now finding answers to my prayers

It's a new day for those good old dreams
One by one it seems they're coming true
Here's the morning that my heart had seen
Here's the morning that just had to come through
