We want to express thanks to our families and to Jason Bergman, Kathy Light, Chuck Eller, Lane Gibson and the Beach Boys for their contributions, direct and indirect, to this album. And to Joe Val, Don Stover and Everett and Bea Lilly for stoking the fires of New England bluegrass, brilliantly, in the early going.
