We cannot possibly thank you, our listeners, enough for your loyal support -- but of course we are especially grateful to those who made it possible for us to go into the recording studio for the first time, just over a year ago (it feels like it was in another lifetime).
2009 was a Year of Wonders for us. My co-conspirators and I wish each of you the very best for the year to come.
