Credits & Acknowledgements

Much of the content of this site wouldn't be possible without other individuals' contributions.  As a result, I would like to give them their appropriate acknowledgements;

TINA: Love and thanks go to my beautiful wife, Tina, for her inspiration, love and support.

 

MOM & DAD: Thanks to my parents for buying my first guitar,, driving me to lessons and tolerating many loud, late nights of band practice in the basement.

 

TREVOR PERRMANN: The best son any father could have.  I cherish the times we get to create music together and am grateful for your contribution on some of these songs.  Because of your musical talent, you have inspired me to become a better musician.  https://www.trevorperrmann.com/

 

KEN NEIHEISEL: Thanks for all the lessons and letting me play your Les Paul and getting me in to Alexanders to see and hear The Raisins.  Changed my life.  https://kenneiheiselstudio.com/

 

MARK "KILLER" KELLER: One of the best, damn drummers in the world and  great friend-for-life.  Thanks for playing drums on Angel's Touch.

 

JOHN SCHAMER & SCOTT THURMAN: Glad you both had some of the original reel-to-reel Transit recordings.  Hard to believe those are more than 40 years old now.
  

DEREK SHERINIAN: For playing the kick-ass keyboard contribution on In The Midst of Chaos.
