Special thanks to everyone mentioned above for voluntering their talent and time to make this  album. To Brian Shaheen, Sean Rush, Krik Anderson, Gabriel Schlaffer,  and Sebestain Jean for being just as excited as me when it came  to exploring all the possible ways that we could record these songs.   Thank you Michael Jefry Stevens, Mark Dziuba, and Steven Gravino for teaching me how  to play. To Sean for mastering the album, Jason Perrotta for being involved in the experiences documented in these songs, and to Dad, Mom, Emily, and Jennifer for putting up with all the noise over the years.

This album is dedicated to Kevin Stack (my dad) who introduced me to the  fantastic red and blue lights of our Marantz Stero System at such an early age.  That record collection in our old living room is the reason why I became a musician.  Thanks Dad!  I hope you enjoy the music on this album.
