Creating this album was a five year journey (2020-2025). We were almost finished with the recording in July 2025 when Bruce had a stroke and passed away. It has been my honour and healing to finish this album and now share it with the world.
These songs are our travelogue sharing Everything It Takes to navigate thru a worldwide pandemic/shutdown to live stream concerts, a return to “in person” concerts, playing thru debilitating physical pain, devastating cancer diagnosis, a miracle healing, and for Bruce the brave transitioning into the next frequency and me knowing we are still co-creating music and art together forever.
Like every great adventure, we got lost and we found new paths, got directions from strangers, shared profound conversations, tried new things, made friends, let the beautiful scenery inspire us and followed our hearts to the next day. These songs were our guides, life rafts, celebrations, conversations, channeled dreams, precious shared moments and they each came to us exactly when we needed them. They lead us to a deeper trust and understanding of community, family, grace, benevolence, and loves infinity.
Thank You for understanding Everything It Takes. By continuing to play our albums and listening to our music, sharing Bruce’s paintings and artworks and telling the stories of how you first met /heard us you join me in keeping Bruce’s joyful spirit alive in our world. Rest in peace & music: Bruce S. Hecksel (1967-2025)
