Mercy Thanks and Praises

Adam “Bagel-San” Berkowitz (at Bo La De Productions) : Adam's vision and work ethic in pulling this recording together was something I didn't fully appreciate until now. He rocks.

Amber Rose : Amber somehow manages to channel the soul of a 2000-year-old African woman in her singing. She's a rad beat-boxer, too.

Larkin Gayl : Larkin is one of the best songwriters I've ever seen play out, managing to pull the entire audience into every lyric off her lips. She, too, rocks.

André Wagner : One of the best professional experiences I’d had working with anyone was at 6:00 a.m. with André.

Karnamrita Dasi : A beautiful vocalist, a sweet friend and huge asset for me during this recording. Her debut CD is phenomenal.

Gentry Bronson : Gentry was a huge push for me to not just talk about getting into a recording studio, but to do it! Thanks, GB . . .

Music, Art, More

Moxy Media : A rockin' one-woman team who's gone well out of her way to make this website look and feel how I wanted it to. Thanks, B!

Brindl : A close friend, fine musician, angelic blues player . . . and Hasselhoff aficionado.

Danny Schmidt : Danny’s got poignant, poetic lyrics like there's no tomorrow. He's absolutely one of the best songwriters I've ever heard.

Bill Mize : I first saw Bill Mize play at a church in Missoula, MT on New Year’s Eve, 2004. I was floored. He's an amazing guitarist and instructor (mine for three lessons).

People, Earth, Us!

Next Generation : A Bay Area grassroots non-profit empowering young people to speak out, get organized and act for what they believe in. Roni rocks on the guitar, too.

Outward Bound : Some of the most powerful changes I’ve seen or experienced have been nine days walk into the backcountry. That's what they're all about.

Vipassana Meditation : My experience in the ten-day course, which runs solely by donation, was very difficult, and rewardingly world-shattering.
