I just want to say that when I look back on the past couple of years of playing that I owe huge thanks to so many people in supporting us to play this music that we have so much fun playing, including and especially Junior Watson, the single most incredible blues guitarist alive for all of his input and wisdom on recording and playing, Thanks so much I’ve learned immeasurably from you and also to Mark Hummel for his support and kind encouragement to us in making our last record Its an honor and humbling to be associated with such great blues artists, and Thank you for your integrity, carrying on such amazing music ... Also a huge thanks to all the people that lend encouragement every day with all your emails and comments ... I’m amazed at how many people love and actually play this music so well , Proud to know all of ya ...
