Thanks to: Families Austin, Cameron and Dodge. Charles Austin, who recorded, engineered and mixed these songs, applying just the right amount of sugary mockery to keep me in line. Lukas Pearse, prince of men, for his big ears. Jim Cameron for suppressing some of the metal in him, enough to play these songs. Benn Ross, Matt Grimson, Andrew Glencross, Becky Siamon, Matt Myers, Jonathan Andrews and Brian Murray for making your beautiful sounds. Gretchen, Colleen, Sask, Ronok, Trevor and Steve. Wee Eebs. Jeff Gay at L and M. And as always Andy – thanks for the Munro guitar.
