We thank god for family, fans and friends. We will never deserve the unconditional support. Joe required excellence throughout the entire making of this album, he never allowed us to settle for less. We laughed, and screamed, and laughed some more but, it was his humility and work ethic that speaks louder then any instrument on the record. Thank you, Joe. Dan required depth and meaning to each note, lyric, and sound we carefully added to the once skeletal album. Dan is gifted with the power of influence and inspiration. If he wasn't around we wouldn't know what to do. Thank you, Dan.
