Musical Friends
Here is a list, in no particular order, of some of the great musicians, engineers, producers and other music related associates that I have had the great pleasure to work with, or at least know, in one capacity or another over the years. I’ve listed whatever credits they have (that I can remember!) in parentheses. I’ll keep adding to the list as I work with more people and as I remember others but, as you can see, I’ve been very lucky!!
