This project was accomplished with the help of many friends-with a big tip of the cap to Keith Barrett. Without his encouragement and tireless devotion, especially in the early stages of recording, the album would have never gotten off the ground. Gerrry Putnam's digital mastery is unparalleled, and his keen ear is only matched by the sharp eye of Greg Barban whose photographs are so accomplished they achieve the rare feat of making even me look good. To Lynn and Eric, who just "dropped into the studio" and laid down some impressive tracks in just a few takes-certainly a testament to their fine musicianship-and to Bob Frost, a thirty year friend, contemporary of Gutenberg, who knows how to milk the most from a printing budget. And finally, to Susan, another thirty year friend and one of my original fans, who is always there cheering me on in a supportive crowd of family and friends-to all these and more I say thanks.
