Stuart Brand:    Stuart was one third of the Instant Irish Band 'Just Add Guinness'. He is quite a talented fiddler and I still play with him fairly often, each time a unique experience.

Mary and Harry Conaway:    My dear parents, who have been very supportive (if at times critical) of my career goals.

Becky Cunningham:    My guiding light. She cheers me when I'm sad and brightens even the happiest of times.

Deborah Doehr:    The final third of 'Just Add Guinness,' a very talented singer/songwriter. I wish her nothing but the best, and look forward to playing with her in the future.

Suzanne Glick:    Probably the single person most responsible for my current worldview, hammered out over late-night cups of tea at the Ontario Renaissance Festival. One of the world's few genuine free spirits.

Tisa McGraw:    A lovely lady. A harpist, bassist, vocalist, and bódhrán player, she does it all. A pleasure to converse with, she opens new worlds with every phrase.

Chris Noon:    The man behind the Rolling Scones, he taught me more about music and music business than I thought there was to learn. One of the few people I've seen whose energy level can run circles around mine, it's been my pleasure to try and keep up.

Julie "Lilith" Scott:    One of those who kept me going from the very beginning, who told me to run with it before I even had a firm idea of what exactly I was running with.

the Bardic Circle of Columbus, OH:   A simple session, which gave me a low-pressure collaborative avenue to explore new musical ideas. The impetus behind 'Just Add Guinness,' and still a great way to spend a Thursday night.

and all who've put their faith in me:    The list is too long to mention. But you're out there, we both know it, and I could never have done it without you all.
