This project was put together very quickly - actually in two weeks, starting at the end of September. It could not have become a reality without the work of one man. Scott Macmillan (musician, arranger, composer, producer extraordinaire) was totally dedicated to completing this project. From tune selections to arrangements, to providing Vitamin C for my flu - he made sure that the project went on. Thanks! As usual, behind every great man is an even greater better half: Jennyfer Brickenden. Thanks for keeping both Scott and me in line! You were instrumental in the success of this production - everything from artwork to the - oh - so comfortable bed beside your desk!
Thanks also to Rob Cohn, Sherri Jones & Wayne O'Conner, Buddy MacMaster, Don Keddy & Sandra Oxner, J.P. Arsenault & Reg MacMichael (Sound Pro Recording Studio), visual communications designer: Camille Chapman (Centennial Beach Communications), Aron Zon & John Morris Rankin (Buddy's Devil piano lick), and of course the musicians and vocalists: Alan MacKenzie, Jim Faraday, Aurelie Cormier and Jeff MacDonald.
Finally, it goes without saying (but I will say it anyway), two people who are always there for everything I do, deserve the most thanks of all: Mom & Dad --- I hope you enjoy this recording.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Ashley
