"The song "The Hard Part", a single from my upcoming record "Temporary Things", was written while recuperating from losing my singing voice for a little over two months.

Recorded at Mark Dann Recording Inc. in Woodstock, NY, performers on the record include Marc Douglas Berardo on vocals and acoustic guitar, Eric Parker drums (Joe Cocker, Orleans) Mark Dann bass (Richard Shindell, John Gorka), Dr. Westchesterson on organ and piano and Chris Berardo (Chris Berardo and the DesBerardos) contributes background vocals.
