I thought it would be more appropriate to thank some people and let everyone who visits this part of the web site who are the people important to me and have helped bring me to this point in my life. A lot has happened since I wrote the liner notes below. I've had a lot of fun and met a bunch of great people along the way.

I especially want to thank Augie, JJ, and Dave for thinking my music was worthy of their time and energy. I look forward to the songs we will hopefully write together as a group. I also wanted to include my thoughts from the liner notes found in the CD because they are still very much true.

I thought a lot about what to write and came to the conclusion that there was not enough room in the world to write down all the people I wanted to thank and why I wanted to thank them. So let me just say that there is not one person that I have met and got to know that didn't contribute to this CD in some way whether they knew it or not. I feel very grateful to have so many people that I consider close friends from the NEUMANN family to the gang that used to hang out at PAT COLLINS open mic at the Beer Hanger where a lot of these songs were first played. You are all important to me and I hope you feel the same towards me. But there are some I would be very neglectful for not thanking. My mom & dad (BRENDA & VIC) for giving a little boy a chance to learn how to play the guitar. My brother (SCOTT), I love you. To RIK, KEN, BILL, AL, CHARLIE, MARK and PAUL thanks for playing on the songs and bringing this dream into reality. Especially you RIK for encouraging me do this for so long. To MARTY and CHARLIE at Performance for guiding me through the process. To my entire family, thank you for the support and in some cases the inspiration to follow my dream. But most importantly to my wife DEBBIE and our little girl JACLYN, nothing in this world would have made this CD possible without DEB'S love and support and the joy Jaclyn has brought us both. I LOVE YOU BOTH VERY MUCH. Next to our wedding and the birth of the snuggle bunny, this is best thing to happen to me. I hope all of you like the music and thanks again.
