Note on the bandcamp page:
The Proverbial series is close to our hearts. Our good friend and upstanding human being, David Alsemgeest, contacted several of us to create music in honor of his son Rey and daughter Mei. They had, he let us know, Late Infantile Batten Disease (also known as Jansky–Bielschowsky disease), a rare, fatal autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder. Faced with such a thing, what else could happen but Proverbial 11? A year later, many of the same musicians, along with some new ones, have returned to bring music for David's family.

Sadly, shortly before this release, David and his family lost Rey. And yet, within the sadness associated with this - within the knowledge of it's bitter probability - David and his wife Kazumi did not transfer feelings of gloom to Rey, but gave him the most joyful existence he could have before the end. Rey's passing was approached by David and his family with dignity and compassion for the release of Rey's suffering. Several pieces from the first compilation were played at Rey's ceremony. It is in the spirit of this Strength and Hope that we release this second volume.

All tracks are free to be enjoyed by everyone. However, we hope you will purchase both volumes. All proceeds will go straight to help David's family, including ongoing expenses for his daughter Mei's medical treatment.

Recorded and engineered by the artists.
Special thanks to Judi Jones, Kris Nelson, James Dilworth.

Note on track 7: As a father(with another one on the way 1 month from the release of this album) I walk the same path as David and his family. Like David, I work to provide the best life experience for my kids. Being a dad is different and wonderful. www.muteelation.com
