about

We wish to thank our friends who played on the album as well as Debbie Lee and Theresa Lippert AKA "Sugar Babe," who provided so much support and guidance over the course of creating this album. John wishes to thank Sandy Goss for the use of a great microphone and Jo Anne Kurman and Sandy Sherman for their haunting song, "Long White Gown." Fred wishes to thank Evelyn and August Grittner, who inspire him every time they ask to hear "Grandpa music."

We dedicate this album to the Bloodliner community and those who have attended the Trio and Americana Folk Music Camps over the years. You have nurtured us. We could not have produced China Sky and this album without your love and support. For those who have gone on ahead, we will treasure our memories of sharing music with you.
