Thank you to my dear friends and family who stand beside me.
Thank you to those who worked on this record as if it was their own.
If this record is great, it is a testament to the quality of the people in my life...
I will however take responsibility for any possible overlooked moments of less-than-greatness that may exist on this album.
This version does NOT list a bonus DVD or CD.
