Words of Thanks

Because this was my first CD, I wanted to keep it short, clean, and simple.  The downside of this choice, however, was that I could not really give an in-depth thanks to everyone who has helped me along on this jounrey.  So this page is to them.

Jesus:  For being such a wonderful God, and loving Father.  I know that I would be lying to say that these songs are my own.  Because they are not mine, they are Yours, they come from You, and are played for You, for without You I would be nothing.

My Family:  You have supported me every since I first began to tinker on the piano at 12.  I don't know where I would be in life if you all did not love me with all you had.  You have inspired me in my spiritual walk, and cared for me in the physical.  Words could not express my gratitude to you. 

Bobby "Big Daddy" Hill: I cannot even begin to express how much of a blessing you have been, as a contributor of this gift, and a grandfather.  You have been there with me the whole time, supporting me with equipment and encouraging me.  Thank you!

Will Ackerman: Wow, what an experience to go through at my age.  But you have not only helped me take a great big step in this gift, but you made it a very fun and "educational" experience.  I don't think I could really fully express how much of a blessing you have been to a young man beginning on a journey in life.  And not only have you blessed this gift as a whole, but you have taken each individual song and really lifted it to a whole new level.  It's funny, when I'm making up a new song, my parents will say "All that's left now is to send it through a Will Ackerman 'wash'."  You really know what your doing on how to bring out the best in someone's music, and on top of it all, your own music has been a blessing in and of itself.  Thank You.

Corin Nelson: You and Will are crazy (in an funny way).  And both of you made the trip up to that cold state called Vermont a very enjoyable one.  Your engineering skills are quite amazing, and your patience with each song awesome.  I know I would have gone crazy listening to them over and over and over again, but you made each one sound great.  Cheers! 

Carol (Me-Mom) Morris and Tory Porch:  Thank you so much, both of you, for your help with the photography, you both have been such a help during this project.  Thank you for supporting me, and just being a great help in every way you can! And thank you Me-Mom for the beautiful photos that cover the CD, they are just breathtaking.

Stanton Lanier:  Thank you so much Stanton for all the help you have been!  It has been such a blessing, and encourgment for another Christian to have gone before me, and be able to help me out, give me heads up, and the like.  Thank you.

And I would like to make one last thanks to all of my friends and "family" for being so supportive during this project.  Thank you Pattersons for taking the time to listen and give feedback on those little things I fancy as "songs", and encouraging me, you don't know how much it meant to me.  Thank you Jessica Engel for building me up, and being a constant source of encouragement all the way.  And finally I would like to thank all of my other friends for just being my friends, that in and of itself is a blessing.  Thank You everyone!     

And finally, since He is the first and the last, I would like to thank Jesus again, for just being plain amazing.
