2008 looked like it might be a tough year for bridge songs.
A motel fire moved the Songwriters out to Beach Harbor Resort (Thanks Beach Harbor!)
where, though it looked like a toy in the distance, the bridge still managed to inspire.
 
  A week of rain brought out images of water and a feeling of wanting to "get across."
Taking inspiration where they could find it, the writers rose once again to the challenge,
producing a brilliant rainbow of songs as impressive for its cohesiveness as for its diversity.

Selecting only fourteen for this disc wasn’t easy!

Thanks to the writers and to the hundreds of volunteers
who donated hour upon hour to see this through.
This collection would not have been possible without your love and support!
Special thanks to Christie Weber for her unwavering vigilance and dedication.
And thanks finally to the bridge herself, for bringing us all together!


Dedicated in loving memory to Paulie Rocco (1962-2009)
