Scott would like to thank…
R.S for your vigilance, vocabulary and grace under pressure. You are way up in the music; Lynn Nichols for helping the lads and me weed out the bad bits from the good. Your voxadelic studio visits were frequent and many; to the hard working and otherwise business soldiers at Proper Management and Sparrow-EMI for taking care while we played guitars all day. (We’ve finished, exhale); Mike, Russ, Cliff, Chris – Thanks, sorry, what’s for lunch; D’Addario Strings and Langejans Guitars; Phil & Wes, my compadres in (and out of) the pocket, words fail me, but “I know what you’re thinkin’!”; Christine, I’m Home.

R.S would like to thank…
Phil “what about this for a title” Keaggy, Wes “one man gang” King, and Scott “last man standing” Denté for their sterling and sublime compositions and performances. Also, their production ideas and contributions must not go unheralded. They are solid-senders; our A&R man, Lynn Nichols, for his vision, guidance and encouragement, as well as the birdmen and women of Sparrow-EMI for letting us create in an unfettered manner; Top-knob kudos to Mike Corbett and Russ Long; endurance, courtesy and scavenging merit badges to Chris Audretch; and rhythm section MVP’s to Ken Lewis and Chris Kent for their patient spontaneity; instrument and appliance thanks to “Chaos” Nichols, Jerry Jones Guitars, Eric Ernest of Abalone Vintage Guitars, Gary Paczosa, Greg Morrow and Big Al Anderson; and a humble thanks to God for this opportunity.

Wes would like to thank…
First of all, to my wonderful wife for her strength, patience and love that has sustained me throughout the making of this record and our two babies; Phil and Scott for the laughs and encouragement; Lynn for the voxology; Bobby for your patience and letting me play electric guitar; Peter for making this dream come true; Parker Guitars, D’addario Strings and Langejans Guitars; Del Langejans, again for making such wonderful sounding and playing instruments; and the entire Sparrow-EMI family for their support.

Phil would like to thank…
Our producer, R.S. Field, for your sense of musicality, humor and sense of adventure in the recording of our combined efforts; Norman Miller, Glenda McNalley, John Schroeter and Holly Benyousky; all our friends and fans who are even at this moment reading these notes and listening to the music; and Mike, Cliff, Chris, Russ, James and all who worked overtime after we’d gone home; Lynn Nichols and the folks at Sparrow-EMI for your support and encouragement in helping put Wes, Scott and me together to create something new; Gibson Guitars, Olson Guitars, Paul McGill Guitars, Parker Guitars, Zion Guitars and Langejans Guitars; my wife, Bernadette, for her love and support through all the years; to Wes and Scott for sharing your wonderful gifts God has given you with me. We’ve grown to be good friends and brothers. All the best to you and yours.

Phil, Wes and Scott want to give thanks to Ken Lewis and Chris Kent for participating in this invention.
