Band Members: Thanks to everybody who touched my life musically. It's difficult to list everyone; new people and things come to mind all the time like Joe Davies and Jim Litolff and sunrises, red birds and many MySpace acquaintances, as well as folks who don't play music but who are very musical just by being themselves.
