Thanks … to La Famiglia Rindo for allowing us to set up camp and bang and strum things well into the night. To Ronny, special thanks for your fine musicianship and dedication to this project and assistance well beyond the call of duty.  Boddo, likewise, your presence on this album is one of its great enablers.  Chris, Gleny and Shaun a sincere thanks for your generous contribution and supreme professionalism. Also to Libby and Kate for coffee, support and help, John Lee for the Focusrite, Toni Swain for the loan of that glorious dobro, Chris and Kristy for letting us invade your house and Draney for the inspired artwork.

Thank you to Melissa for giving me the space to do this project and all others who have supported it along the way. Finally, to Leigh for taking this idea from my front verandah to its full realisation. I cannot imagine this project ever happening without the rare combination of skill, talent, vision, persistence and attention to detail which you posess. Thank you.
