Acknowledgements

To my heroes past and present. To those who helped shape my life and my career to what it is today. To the great songwriters - without them, what would we sing?

To my friend Larry Delaney (Country Music News) for keeping "us" old artists alive, through times when we've often felt "lost" and "forgotten".

A Special Thank You

Photo of Sylvia and Paul Weber Syl, without your constant urging, support and encouragement to keep singing and get back into the studio, this dream would not have been realized. The road has been pretty rough and awful rocky at times; thanks for the occasional "shove" to get me through it and keep me going. I will love you always.

Dedication

Photo of Mom & Dad "Smoky" Weber These songs are dedicated to Mom & Dad.

"You gave me life, you gave me love, you gave me music and then you gave me a chance."

I miss you dearly, and sing my songs for you - I hope you're still listening.

Thank You!

To my sisters Judy and Lynne, for all your love and encouragement over the years. Sister Susan, for adding your beautiful voice to this project and singing with me for the last half century.

Brother Mike, for always being there for me over the years, no matter the challenge, and for supplying your talented hands, your finely tuned ear and your big heart to this labour of love.

Long and overdue, to my "kids", Becky, Jason and Dusty for trying to understand when I was seldom home or when I've appeared to be too busy for you. I love you all and a special thank you for thoose beautiful "grand babies".

Sandy for being my "girl Tuesday" and giving me the time to get out of the bar and into the studio, and for all of the years of hard work, dedication and friendship.

Eric for knowing your trade and being so patient with an "old country singer" who knew what he wanted but wasn't always sure how to get it.

The great musicians I am blessed to have in my life - and only a phone call away. Doug, Shane & Stacey, Dan, Freddie and Grant. You "guys" are amazing and we couldn't have done it without your fine talents and valued friendship.

My two Mikes, my old "Top Hand" boys. You've allowed me the freedom and the opportunity to express myself whether I'm up or down. We had great years out on the road - it was very special to have you join me in the studio. We've made a lot of music. Thanks for being part of it all, and your continued support and dedication today.

Carole Russo for much of the photography utilized on this CD package and Terry Elliott for his creative efforts in providing the artwork and design.
