I had the honor of releasing Adrienne's last album. I was introduced to her and her work by Josh Horowitz. It turned out to be that she was also from San Francisco Bay Area where I met her while she was visiting her family. From the moment I saw her, I knew that I was in the presence of a wonderful person. She was so warm with a captivating smile.
Over the coming months, we had long conversations about the album, talking about the songs, artwork, text, photographs, press release and all other details that go into an album production. She taught me a lot about Yiddish culture. Adrienne and my graphic artist Matt built a wonderful working relationship quickly and they were on the phone often, working on the details. Adrienne was very happy with the layout which was enriched by Lloyd Wolf's photographs and Mor Erlich's collage work. She wanted to make sure that the new CD would be available by the time of Ashkenaz Festival and we did it. I was very happy when I called her to let her know that she would have CDs before she left for the festival.
I am still in shock of her passing away. In late October, she wrote to me about her upcoming European tours in 2012 and I was looking for additional venues.
Life is so fragile. Like all her friends, I will miss Adrienne a lot. Thank you Adrienne for your friendship and giving me the honor of releasing Enchanted.
