this record was made, much like the last one, over the course of time with the help of everyone on it, and a few people behind the scenes. there is a deep abiding factor in common with both works that is also common to the community in which we live, and that is an honest love for music and the bond that it creates amongst friends. everyone on this recording has graciously given their time and expertise, and for that i am privileged once again to offer my most humble thanks.

live music in culture is an extension of what was known in the past as oral tradition. it is a way that we communicate and share our commonalities. when we cease to engage each other, we risk losing a bit more of our most precious resource, our humanity. by purchasing records from independent artists, and mainly, by going out to see them in your town, not only do you directly enable them to carry on their work, you also enhance your own community. we'd like to thank you personally for buying this record, and encourage you to get out and support your local music scene....
