GRATEFUL TO:
Dane McCauley because he was so encouraging.
David Torn because he asked people to listen to me.
Mike Delich, Norm Waitt, Jr., Richard Musil, Michael Shrieve and everyone at Samson Music
because they want all the right things for my music and career.
Vickie Mapes because she annoyed the people on Gaffa.
The Ectophiles because they represent one of the reasons to continue.
Sharon Nichols because she's seen the "real me" and I'd like to stay on her good side.
Susanne White because she worked really hard for a long time to see good things happen for me.
Suzanne Cerquone because she always clues me into cool opportunities.
Jerry Marotta because he's been very supportive.
Carl Adami and Melissa McGill because they're Judy and Toast.
Kevin Bartlett because he exceeds my expectations of humanity.
Finally, the people who
build the machines,
create the sounds,
innovate the methods...
you people are my inspiration.
