This year's band was one of the best that I have ever played in and
I felt that we should be able to produce something that many people will
enjoy listening to for years to come. I know that many of Amhil's customers
and suppliers, my associates at work and my "musician and "other" friends
are aware of my interest in music, and if only to satisfy their curiosity,
I will be distributing this recording to many of them.
On this recording we also featured Jan Laurie. I think that she is outstanding, and hope that through this recording, she will be able to further her music career.

| our lead trombonist, has directed the band since it started. Having gone through most of the various stages from preparation to recording to editing and mastering to the final CD, I want to thank him for the time he took to prepare, organize, and complete this recording. Having gone through some of this with him, I now recognize and appreciate even more his dedication towards music, and his ability to direct us, and how he manages to share his passion with all of us. |

Our recording Engineer, has done an excellent job in recording and mixing for us and it feels like he has been part of the band for years. |
