Thanks to those who come to the DE gigs, helped spread the word and have come forward with kind words about my playing - it means a lot. And to those who have pulled, pushed, lifted, tried to fix or otherwise helped me handle my equipment...I totally appreciate it :) My DE bitches Susan, Mer & G for getting this together even though half the time we're flying by the seat of our collective ass. Tommy Mc said, "this band sounds really good. I think you guys are onto something." I think he's right. Lastly, I would like to dedicate this recording to my grandmother ("Nana") - you were my rock, I love you...my uncle and godfather Cliffie, you really did look out for me & I am forever grateful...My step-grandfather Frank for being one cool human being - R.I.P...and Bernice and Alex, Sr. who treated me like a daughter, not a daughter in-law - I miss you both terribly. Susan thanks: There are three billion people I want to thank. If I leave someone out, it doesn't mean you aren't important; it means I am a dumbass. That being said, here goes. Most importantly my family, Mom, Karen, Johnny, Lauren & Michael (and huge amounts of love to my nephew Ethan!). You mean more to me than anything in this world. This also incudes my extended family...I love every one of you so much and I really do know how lucky I am. Since it's such a HUGE family I'm not going to go through names except for my two grandmas, Helen Wendelken & Gladys Barry. My longtime best friend since kindergarten, the wind beneath my freakin' wings; Eileen Rehn. Without you being my most loyal, honest and supportive friend, I would seriously not be alive. I would never have made it. I love you. For the rest of my closest girls, we go alphabetically so as to completely avoid "order of importance": Maura Anderson ("they do NOT know who we are!") Jane Carozza (Erica Haims ("And we're BACK"), Mary Hynan-Nicoll ("I just hit someone with my car. Was that wrong?") Cynthia Lenz ("Ohhh you're very naughty!") , Adrienne Milek ("Pretend your mom just caught you..."), Kathleen Reid ("Yes, I'll bring the booby-cake.") All my former One Step Beyond bandmates; Bob 'Sweet Cheeks' Valderrama, Charlie "Chookie" Galasso, Tom "Gaf" McAllister, and Steve "Beecho" Larice. I love you boys a lot and miss playing/touring/going to nudie bars (ya know back when you were all single of course) together. Freaks. All the incredible musicians/friends I have collaborated with on the NYC Irish Music Scene: Dave Barckow (the dude abides), Donie & Noreen Ryan, Matt Mancuso, Kenny Mannion, Shane O'Sullivan, Heidi Talbot, Ed Kollar, Jeff Conlon, Alana Musselman, Mazz Swift, Sarah Alden, Katie Cox, Oscar Bautista, Dan Paccione, Tony Steele, Alan Camlet, Pio Ryan, Darryl Conlon, Isaac Alderson, Peter Maguire and many acknowledgements to some insanely talented people I have played only a few times with (yeah you know who you are!). Andy Cooney and all the insanely talented members of the Andy Cooney Band: Brian O'Driscoll, Matt Fisher, Colm Graham and Buddy Connolly. I'm so fortunate to be able to play with all of you. My former co-conspirators from One Groovy Coconut; Joey, Andy, Chris & Mike. I LOVE MY BOYS!!

"Toggs" Bell, Corey Mittenberg, John Buttone, Rick Lopez, Doug Capra, Neil Stein, T.C. Carsten (and Becky...wherever you are if you read this I'd love to hear from you just so I know you're alive somewhere and that you're ok. We miss you and we love you). Extra Special Thanks to all the ex-boyfriends (and the one ex girlfriend) who have fed the fuel for some of the most vicious, scathing and sometimes bittersweet lyrics I'm capable of. BIG BADASS LOVE TO ALL THE WONDERFUL BOYS FROM THE BANDS
WE PLAY WITH: There are a great many other bands that we play with all the time, that we are friends with, that we used to play with, etc, but there's just too many to name them all. If you're wondering if I mean you....yes I do. I dedicate this and every performance I give to the memory of my father John Francis Wendelken Jr. Now and every day for the rest of my life I hold you in my heart. G thanks: Of course it is impossible to thank everyone over the years so dont' be offended if you're not here - i'm lucky if i remember my own damn name 1/2 the time so here we go: My mom (you know you rock more than anyone), My bro & Christine and my 2 awesome nieces, My grandma titone, My dad and Marge, My cousins (except for one asshole), My Aunts (except for one bigger asshole) and My uncles.
