Many thanks to Dan Russell, whose idea it was to put this band together - thanks for the support and inertia; to Alison Ottman, for her constant help, encouragement, and logistics juggling beyond belief; to Joel Russell, the hardest working man not in show-business; to Fergus and David for long hours and unparalleled generosity; to Lou Lilli for fiddle in the live band, equally overworked and underpaid, and who came up with fiddle parts on "House Of Broken Dreams," some of which find themselves transmutated to accordion here ... (love to Deb); to Jan and Dolores Boles for all kinds of work and handiwork and even home movies; to Tim Alderson for graphic generosity; to Dave De Coup-Crank for the continued use of his antique Galizi Brothers accordion; to Sam Phillips and T-Bone Burnett for encouragement and talking headstands; to Chuck and Sandra Long, Carlton and Charlie for the initiative, financial and moral support that made this album possible; to Jon (1066) Rubin, to Daniel (660) Reed, to John (990) Hardy, to Tom and Julie Willett, Emmett Chapman, Lindsay and Brent Ostrom, Jack Joseph Puig, Mark Sampson, Norm's Rare Guitars, Beth Shaver, Tom Goosmann, Steve Berkowitz, John Huie, Michael Been and The Call, and Gary Heaton ...

And Love to Janet and Rebecca Heard, John and Jean Heard, Susan Heard, Otis and Glennis Russell, Pat and Pam, Milo and Cathy, Gian and Prisca, Sam and Mindy, Ken and Kris, Steve and Cheryl, Giovanni Audiori, and the others (you know who you are).
