I thank Doug Sedgwick for inspiring me to think and play like a musician.
I thank my wife for giving me reason to persevere though all this and more.
I thank Mark Phillips for giving me the training to use all my resources.
I thank The Voodoo Birds (band) for the opportunity to immerse myself in the musical culture. Roman, Ben, KC, Chris, Joe, and all the other members.. I salute you. Rock on!
