As far as being a songwriter goes…I’m better than some and not quite as good as some others. I know that I’m not a singer but for the most part, nobody has been available to sing my songs but me. Lol Over these past four years on my road to redemption ,God has blessed me by surrounding me with some really awesome talent. The talent of these people in my opinion has helped turn my songs into something really special. I want to thank Keyboards Dennis Palitang ,Lillian Penner and Bob Radio Strings Lillian Penner  Fiddle Jessie Morgan Flute Lillian Penner Guitar Nicky V, Toby Wilson ,Vincent Zaalberg ,Ruskin Clay Banjo Vincent Zaalberg Saxaphone Dennis Palitang mix and mastering Ruskin Clay . I want to say a special thanks to Steven Banasik for his encouragement to do this CD and for making an old guy feel really special .Last and most definitely not least, I want to thank Jesus. I wish I could be as good a friend to You as You are to me.

I've been amazed over the last four years ,how God has provided me with some of the most talented musicians and vocalist from all over the world to help me put down my tracks. This album was no different. I've come to refer to these people as part of my Ragamuffin Band. Some of these guys have been with me since the beginning and others have joined me as I've gone along .I hope that I don't leave anyone out.
