Getting to play music is great. Occasionally a couple of bucks come in, which is nice too. We work our tails off and we enjoy it, but the fact of the matter is there are unsung people who support us — they help us, they give us stuff we need, they work for free or less than they charge but absolutely no less than they’re worth, and I’m grateful. In no particular order, I’ve established this space to give some acknowledgment to the people who have given to us — because you can only fit so much into liner notes.
Thank You, BagpiperDon
