Thank you to my fabulous crit partners, Bonnie R Paulson, Shelley Martin, Rissa Watkins, and Laurie Schneider!

Thank you to the musicians who helped me with my research. Kent Butler for telling me what goes on in a recording studio, Dean Chamberlain for letting me know what chord does what, and Christian Brady for priceless info on album covers and other developments.

A huge thanks to my friends and family for your encouragement and support.

And thank you to my Street Team and Newsletter peeps for keeping up the hype.
