Thankings and dedications:

Special thanks to the many friends and family who have encouraged and helped me over the years. I am especially thankful to my wife, Burkley and our children, Sarah, Newton, and Mary, for being such a patient, encouraging and agreeable although captive audience.

Special thanks are also due to my father and his musical genes and household.

Brian Feys, who intoduced me to the studio and Edgar Struble who is a dear friend and has been instrumental, no pun intended, in this project; Denise All, phenomenal pianist; Jacob Lawson, awe-inspiring violinist and main "heartstring"; as well as Dave Cline, Jake Nicely and Tommy Dorsey who bent over backwards to help make this possible.

Finally, I thank God for this opportunity to bring this music to fruition and to you. What a blessing and a gift this has been!
