Thank you!


My deep and sincere gratitude goes out to the following people:

Erin Fergusson (Communications Guru*, American Family Insurance. Is there a better person on the planet to know or work with? I kinda doubt it)
And Erin's colleagues Dave Heckman, Julie Kruyne, Steve Schumacher and all the fine people at AmFam!
Andy Ewen (Artist and provider of much-needed guitar lessons)
PS Mueller (Cartoonist, Doyle Redland impersonator and all-around great guy)
Corinne Heath (The genius behind “The Drawing of Ghosts/Horror Vacui” installation)
Jen Childers (Producer, John Roach Projects. We like her)
Eric Prendergast (Poet. Good one.)
Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau (In her words, “producer, director, radio host, writer and all-around regular chick”. In mine: she of the bright personality and even brighter smile)
Sarah Jennings Evans (Engineer and artist. Not necessarily in that order)
Lily Castonguay (Artist and Kurt Vonnegut scholar. Oh, and my niece)
Jim Schwall (Artist. Also singer/songwriter/guitarist, though not on this disc. But he does have discs of his own that you can buy. I know ‘cuz I recorded one of them; it's called "Getting Old")
Doug Schoebel (Engineer and really good, honest voice talent director. Doug is not for people who like obsequiousness. I don’t like it so much; Doug and I get along great)
Anne Sayers (Goddess of the Environment** via the Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters)
Wendy Nelson (Videographer to the stars***! And a wonderful person)
Scott Dikkers (Onion editor, filmmaker, cartoonist, rock-climbing companion, friend)
Jay Rath (Producer, writer, director of “Martian Radio”, cartoonist, friend) Kevin Fulk (helpful guy at Hagar Audio. I’m serious; he’s helpful. Audio-wise, I mean. He probably won’t wash your car or anything. Or then again, maybe he will. It's worth a shot. Ask him.)
Bob Abella (“That’s real funny, radio man”)
Tom Harding (Another excellent rock-climbing companion and friend. Oh, and one of the engineers who recorded material for this disc)
Chris Langkamp (He’s Sooper! He’s Dooper!)
Bruce Stein (The funniest man not actually in show biz. TASC’s PR Templar****)
Joan Wildman (musician featured on my reading of “The Drawing of Ghosts”)
Jane Reynolds (musician featured on my reading of “The Drawing of Ghosts”)
Andy Rabin, Jay Sapiro, Taryn, Hope and everyone at Visuality (for lots of things)
Patrick Flynn and Joseph Blough for the great photographs and art layout.
Joel O’Neill for the website magic. Oh trust me, it’s magic. No other explanation makes sense.

*This may not be Erin’s actual job title.
**Ditto for Anne….
***…and Wendy. Detect a pattern here?
****Yup I did it again.
