"to be born Welsh is to be born privileged,
not with a silver spoon in your mouth,
but music in your blood and
poetry in your soul"
 



  I would like to thank the following:

  My beautiful wife, Gwen, for helping me get re-acquainted with myself;
  my step-daughter , Jessica Luckey, for introducing us in the first place;
  and the entire Sadler clan for their belief and support from the very beginning. I love you all

  To Thomas; You know as well as I do that i couldn't have done this without you, and for that I will be forever grateful.
  Thank-you!

  There are so many others that deserve my thanks for their various contributions to this CD. So, rather than trying to list
  them all, and run the risk of unintentionally forgetting anyone, please accept my sincere gratitude for your support,
  understanding and affection. You have no idea what a help you have all been to me. Thank-you!

  Thomas Schmitt-Zijnen would like to thank his family for their unceasing support, and especially Faye and Laurin for
  "Arriving in my life".
  Thanks to Michael - It's always a pleasure working with you.
