with lyrics and vocals by a great group of talented and kind-hearted musicians.
The CD is named after Tony's sister, Jenny, who bravely faced ALS for 5 years.
All proceeds from the sale of "Songs for Jenny" will go to the ALS Association of Minnesota
with the aim of discovering a cure and caring for the brave people facing ALS
Jennifer Ann (Pucci) Fischer passed away quietly in her sleep on May 6, 2008. She was only 37 years old, and left behind a son. Her bravery in facing the terrible effects of ALS have been an inspiration to her entire family, including myself and my music. It is my hope that someday no family or person will have to endure such a tragedy in the future. Hopefully, "Songs for Jenny" will be a big step in making that day a reality.
Life is too short, people. Love fiercely those you hold dear. --Tony Pucci
“Tony, there’s a "not everything is lost" feeling in your music. Your music is so delicate, it’s like porcelain, fragile and full of evoking textures. But it’s not pessimistic, which I like so much! Although some pieces are sad, there’s a feeling of redemption at the end. It’s healing, it helps…but it's that kind of healing sadness that we need to smile again.”
--Arno Sojo
