D.B. Pacini meet Lisa at a jam. "I was impressed with her guitar work and her harmony vocal abilities. We had already determined most of the vocal and instrumental work for the Emma's Love Letters CD, but I felt Lisa should be brought into the project. We love her energy."

When told our core-group was in support of Guitars Not Guns (GNG), Lisa said, "Anything that helps to guide young people in a positive direction is wonderful. I know what music can do, what having a creative outlet can mean to anyone, especially to children and teens. I am heartsick at the lack of music programs in schools today. So many music programs have been drastically cut back or virtually eliminated. The GNG program is a blessing to kids, and I am excited to help others learn about it."
