I appreciate you, dear listener, for visiting me and my songs here.

I appreciate the many singers and listeners who have joined me in musical celebration and appreciation, and who have requested my songs — you are such “grow dust” for my creative spirit!

I appreciate my sister Joane Rylander for building this website, and for singing harmonies with me our whole lives.

I appreciate my husband Ken Crossen, for steadfast and loving support of every kind, and for all the music he has gathered and shared through the Community Music Project.

I appreciate Lea Clayton and Hope Wilder for Stellaria; Sandra Brooks-Mathers, Sarbaga Falk, Laurie Lindgren, Val Rosado, Carol Verner, and Dede Banks for Pomegranate Rose; and Sandra, Dave Kleinbaum, and Steven Forrest for Silkworm.

I appreciate Paul Ford, Johnny Waken, and Jesse Crossen for being my muses, sharing their songs, and making my music sound heavenly.

I appreciate Lillian Woodring Rylander and our Woodring family, for introducing me to the glories and communion of singing together.

I appreciate Clanton Rylander and the Rylander family for giving me loving encouragement for my creativity, and a deep love of nature.
