New liner notes from Phil:

Here are three separate albums we are presenting to you (recorded between 2010 and 2014) ~ I had a blast helping create them with Jack Giering and my oldest friend (since 8th grade)—John Sferra. John, in fact, invited me to participate with him and Jack. I also believe Neal Williams, also a long-time friend, had a hand in introducing me to Jack.
Before we started the 1st of the three trio projects, I played on some of Jack’s vocal songs and songs he produced for others where John did the drumming and also engineered the recordings.
The reason I suggested we call the 2nd and 3rd CDs Jack Giering and John Sferra Trio CDs is simply because we were all so equally balanced in our contributions as players.
The covers turned out very cool too, thanks to Doug Pfeifer.

Since the release of our third Trio project, our dear friend Jack passed into Glory. God bless him and his dear wife Sami. Sweet folks, to be sure!
We miss Jack and his whole way about him—his music, his sense of humor and the stories he would tell.
He also grew the tastiest bird peppers, and he was generous in sending me some now and then.
John and Jack recorded in Warren Ohio at John’s studio and I did my guitar parts in my studio. I also played some bass on a number of tunes. Daniel Pecchio guested and played bass on "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"on Infinty Unleashed - That was fun!

I have some favorites for sure and thought it might be a stronger single project, selecting the best of the three CDs, but then that’s quite subjective. So, after discussing the idea with Tom Gulotta, I agreed that making all three albums available would be the smart thing to do.

There is a special track that I put my brother Mike’s voice on (Memories of Mike Keaggy) on Cosmic Rumpus.
Mike has also gone to Heaven recently. I miss him…
All in all, there are a good many songs with fun things to hear. Jack and John are in great form and it made my job so much more fun and easy to just play along.

There’s a consistent musical thread throughout these 3 titles and John Sferra and I hope you will enjoy the music we made with our friend Jack.

All the best—keep living and loving one another…

Original liner notes:
Six years ago, following a devastating heart attack, I died for the seventh time in a week, and I have vivid memories of my Spirit’s journey. Like a speeding light, “Inter-Dimensional Traveler” is an attempt at producing a sound track of my short death, as I remember it before the doctors brought me back to life. The memories of my first six near deaths came flooding back, and I can tell you that dying is easy, and actually fun and beautiful! It’s our wonderful lives that can be difficult. Hopefully, at times, this CD will bring some joy into the lives of all who listen.

I have known my good friend John Sferra since 1965 and we’ve been making music ever since. Some of you know our musical journey well. What an honor to make this project with him and Jack Giering. John and I played on Jack’s “Lone Wolf” and “Voice of the Spirit” CDs and other songs which he and John have produced. I’ve come to know Jack as a very inspiring musician and human being. Both John and Jack are dear friends to me. Thanks guys for letting me in on the journey.
~Phil

I met Jack a mere five years ago but it feels like we’ve been friends for a life time. I’ve known Phil for forty-five years and we always find new musical ground to plant in. I’m grateful to be part of this project.
