This recording is dedicated to my family, friends, and fans who have walked beside me on the high road through the mountains and hills of upstate New York, northern New Mexico, central Texas and Tennessee.  Many thanks to Steve Clark and the Waterloo Ice House, T.I.Baden and Taylor guitars, Maypop Music Group, Jimmy LaFave, Paul Glasse, Bill Ginn, Gina Gammage, John Gammage, Fred Remmert, all my co-writers, John Irwin, Don And Ronna Martin, Gaea Logan and the Wednesday Group, Scot and Karn Hill, and Trinity Child Development Center ... for giving my boy some extra love during the intensity of recording.  Special thanks to Mitch Watkins for keeping it all moving in the right direction.  I love you Ernie and Troupe.  Thank you for graciously sharing me with my muse.
