As I look back over the last 40+ years of music ministry, I can see the hand of God and how He has gotten me where I am today. I can see why things happened the way they did, and can name the people that had such an influence in my life in what it has become. While it is almost impossible to list everyone, I would like to specifically thank three:

1. Sister Mary Charles Fungeld, who "forced" me to play the organ every day at St. John the Baptist Grade School (in Illinois) for school masses.

2. Father Jim Blessinger, who opened my eyes to a whole new world of music and liturgy in the 80's. It is because of his influence that I am in music ministry today.

3. Father Joseph Ziliak, who has encouraged me over the last 14 years to always look forward and think "outside the box."

God has a way of getting us where He wants us, even when we turn the wrong direction. But in ALL things I learned a long time ago, "Only by the Grace of God..."

SPECIAL THANKS to Joe Hardesty for the graphic design and layout of the CD.

Thanks also to Tod and Kelly Wilson for the use of their keyboard for the recording.
