Heading to Soundcrest Recording Studio in Edmonton, KY this afternoon to begin laying basic tracks with my friend David Cassady. This project has been in the works a long time and is a large undertaking with 26 songs in the catalog. It will take some time to complete. Many folks have helped to get me to this point: My wife, Debbie and son Ian; my Amigos Kevin Roark and Dewey Rains; Sonya Roark and Barbara Johnson countless others: Noah Stephens, Andrew Slaven, Dominic Mountain, Tony Armstrong, Bill Mullins, Beth Dobbs, Zak Walker, Walt Bradley, Travis Bertram, Derek Lester, Mark Karelis,Juice Cleland, Roger West,Tim Withers, Mark Webster, Lyndon and Pattie Baines, Graham Hudspeth, Kevin Dalton, Brian Morrow, Corey Hall, Paul Bilbrey, Kerry Ewald, Mark Purcell, Tim Roberts, Lisa and David Palmer, Kim and Greg Giles, Bill Brusowitz,Rod Wilson, Rog Zimmerman, Jerry Dixon, my precious mother, the late/great J.R. Sroufe and Melissa Smith for whom the project will be dedicated to their precious memories if and when it ever makes it to fruition, and, as I said countless others who have given ideas and lended inspiration/support in one way or another - including all the wonderful musicians I have ever had the opportunity to play music with. Some have helped with arrangements while others have contributed to inspiration and/or opportunity - many quietly from behind the scenes without even knowing such as some of clients who have helped teach me the art of true survival. To anyone I have left out, I apologize as am starting to get the butterfly thing and the list is very long. I appreciate the (ongoing) support. A special thanks to David Cassady who has no idea of the work he will end up putting into this and for believing in it.
