This project would never have been possible without the help of some very exceptional people. It really was a team effort. My heart is so full of gratitude to them that words cannot express my deep appreciation, but please allow me to try.
First let me thank Grammy award winner Kevin Mackie, who stepped up to this project and took on a huge amount of work in making this dream of mine a reality. I first met Kevin when he asked me to be on the Action Moves People CD. He was so kind, generous and supportive throughout this entire time it took to get from concept to completion. He was the first one to teach me about Spoken Word Cd's. I am eternally grateful to him. This project would not have been possible without him.
Krista Wallhagen is an angel who completely gave all of her creative energy and organizational skills and she guided this whole project. She is the one who did the beautiful graphics for the cd. She did this while going through chemotherapy and health challenges that would have stopped most people in their tracks. She has become a friend who I am eternally grateful for.
Then there are the wonder producers that Kevin called on Tim Gleeson and Alex Otey came through in pulling all the pieces of this puzzle together in a miraculous way.
A deep bow to all of the wonderful Master musicians who contributes their inspiring music.
Thank you to my dear friend Gregor Praecht wrote from the music soul.
