Over the course of the last year or so,
we have had the privilege of working with some amazing people,
who have helped make us what we are today. We have learned a lot
from these people, and want them to know how much their assistance
has means to us.
First and foremost, we would like to thank everyone who has helped us in our shows throughout the time we've been playing together. They've saved us from a good number of shows that would undoubtably have been cancelled, had it not been for their help. You're assistance does not go unnoticed, and we hope to be able to return the favour sometime down the road.

Comber, thanx Kyle for the many good times we shared.
We thank you very much for your contribution to the music. Best
of luck in all of your future endeavours.
"Grandpa" Earl Gummeson, for his funky brass touch on "In The Mood", his years of experience with sound levels, and all around support. We'll never forget all you've done for us!
Greg Summe
rs,
for his amazing jam sessions and percussional assistance (with
his cool piccolo snare). Love that cowbell. :-)
"Unkie" Mike Pelletier, for addition sound level and percussional assistance, not to mention for all the fun we had messing around with Stairway before the coffee house.
Cameron Shaw and Phil Miller, for your help with our set at RibFest. You guys really saved our skin, so don't be surprised if we call you again for help!
Steve Morris, our awesome
metal-head teacher and friend, for his experienced input. Thanx
for the CD's and ideas for names (Kentucky Fried Children, anyone?).
Mrs. Kowlessar-Dawber, our unofficial manager, teacher and friend. You've been a huge help to all of us since the start, and there is no way we could be where we are without you-- THANX!
Ed Ashton, for the long hours of recording and the free song on our new demo.
Ian, thank you so much for the amp! There would be no band without it!
Mark, our unofficial sound light technician, for the input, advice and lighter tricks during "Stairway To Heaven." Looking forward to jamming with you sometime soon.
Our teachers at St. Michael's, for the incredible amounts of praise. For those who don't know, they even began dancing during our first performance of "Stairway to Heaven". We couldn't ask for a more encouraging sight.
Also, we'd all like to thank God, our individual families, relatives, friends, and enemies (though few). Every influence counts, and what doesn't kill us can only make us stronger.
And of course, last but definitely not least, we would all like to thank Jessica (but especially Alex), for all of her support, shy looks, inspiration (Yay!-- we're no longer one-hit wonders!) and interesting friends (you know who we're talking about [thanx Aimée]). And of course that's not to mention putting up with Brian and Nick ;-). Thank you!
