Virtually everything that could go wrong did go wrong during the making of Highway Of Forgiveness, including money running out

and all of the equipment at Worthway Studio being stolen. All's well that ends well, however, and I think it turned out rather nicely

for a first attempt at high fidelity recording. There's just nothing quite like having a bunch of friends who can really play.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for all of the people who helped with this project.

Thanks for believing in the songs enough to do your thing for little or no money.

If not for John Swanson and Martha Cardell I am quite sure the CD couldn't have happened.

Thank you so much!
