Anastatia (the wife of the knife) - my muse and constant inspiration.

Dorothy and Sergio Fabris for their strength and support (and the guitar lessons so long ago).

Ran Blake – my mentor, who believed in me more than I did in myself at times.

Dave Locke, Mark Hutchins, Eric Doberman, Brian Kingman for making this thing a reality.

Danas and Valerij at NoBusiness Records.

Robert Kaufman, Chris Rossow and Janice Cincotta for making this project look as good as it sounds.
