The song “First to Know” by Laurie Cagno and John Lerner is a heartfelt piece that explores the message of love, longing, and the desire to be the first to know someone’s feelings. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and the importance of communication in a relationship. The song is available for streaming and purchase on Bandcamp, where listeners can also find other works by Laurie Cagno.

A glimpse of back story: Me from New Jersey and John in Vegas, met many moons ago.  In Vegas we went into Blue Diamond Studio. Recorded (5) originals and (3) cover songs. Heard by few. Never released, until recently. The originals written ~ John Lerner

The quarter inch tape was buried at the bottom of a well-aged box of books that I carried around for years! Then lent to a friend’.  Landed in his basement for a while, then returned when he called to tell me he was moving. Lucky for us he asked if I wanted my books back and indeed, I said yes please and thank you for your thoughtfulness. Wow, who knew.

An interesting profound fact about us me and John: The name of my first William Paterson College rock-n-roll band (by unanimous vote) was called, Love All People. Located in NJ.  Three years later I moved to Las Vegas with my mom to live near Grandma Marie. I asked her where I could find a good, cool church. She smiled and guided me to a multi-racially cultured youth group music ministry called by the same name, Love All People!

We traveled the USA when and wherever the divine-curtain-called. John was the co-founder-the Dean of Music. A beloved family man, one of my first mentors, a cherished life-long friend.

John Nicolas Lerner, a veteran served in the USA army in Alaska as the orchestra band leader, arranger. We celebrated in Vegas his surprise 80th birthday July 2023. Still going strong, writing beautiful songs that I am blessed to sing, and share with all of you. Grateful, I am.
