Little Italian girl is a true story based on an arranged marriage and the many trials and tribulations that followed. The hardships that the heroin endured caused her to become a ‘doubting Thomas”, living in fear of the unforeseen hidden agendas. But as Rosa began to trust others again and gained confidence in herself, she became more open-minded to the truth. If Rosa did not have a heart that “went on”, she may have become suicidal, and her heroic story would never have been told. My family and I witnessed many of these events first hand. This saga had the potential of causing a terrible feud, which could have destroyed all the families involved. The situation was only worsened by adding corrupt lawyers, greedy liquidators, and unscrupulous bank managers who all fed fuel to the fire. But in the end, justice prevailed. The lawyer and the liquidator have been charged with the embezzlement of over $650 million dollars. So what can we learn from this true life story? That even though these people lost everything they had, they gained even more through spiritual guidance; hope for the future, and redemption for their lives.

Well, after three months, I was beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel in relation to this Musical. The support and assistance we received from our beautiful singers, composers, and lyric writers was fantastic. If it had not been for all of us working as a team, we would never have gotten this Musical finalized. Our thanks goes out to Bree Noble, who was the vocalist for most of the songs, assisted in co-producing and arranging and wrote some beautiful lyrics and melodies. We also thank LohnRiver, who assisted in co-producing, composing and arranging. Bree Noble also assisted in sound engineering and mixing for the songs on this CD.

Thank you to Denise Jerado and Suzan Hittle, Jerry Allen, our baritone singer and composer, Yussuf Migoko, Kaisa Soelberg, Erik Tyler, Connie Bolin, Rocky Torres, Judy Miller and of course, Simon Read and Tom Rae in the United Kingdom. Many thanks to John Brumby for his assistance in adaptation of the lyrics, and co-producing. Ronnie Hawks and Jason Nelms, for their songs, and for Ronnie’s assistance in adapting some of my songs. Also our thanks goes to Uri Kabiri from Israel, for his assistance in two compositions, Uri Kabiri is one of our Agents in Tel Aviv Israel who has a recording studio where all his work is composed. Also many thanks to Letty Girardet from Switzerland for the lovely lyrics and to Lee Heart for the lovely vocals in "My Heart Will Remember You"

Thank you to Rosa for allowing us to use part of her story and many thanks to Terrence Hunter for allowing us to write a song based on the true transcripts of his court case.

In my job as creator of this musical, I feel that providence played a part in finding people who would be loyal and dedicated to this project. This was very important to the integrity of the story. This story is being told all over the world, and although many people go through similar heartaches, they often forget one important thing: never look to the bigness of your need, look to the bigness of your GOD!! The timely completion of this musical was also a BIG GOAL. But with our eyes on the Spirit for guidance, that goal has become reality. We could not have made it without all you “Angels”. Thanks you so much for your beautiful collaboration.
