Thanks to Don for his belief in this project, for giving my songs the gift of his playing and production and for setting us all up to stretch, caffeinate and rock in the ultimate Zen environment. To Bonnie for her friendship, her supreme guest vocal appearance and her relentless support of me. To Krish, the Michael Jordan of engineers, for the long hours that never broke his sense of humor. To Keith for his mad skills and telepathic TLC (it was spooky sometimes). To Gemma Corfield for generously and expertly filming the sessions. To Meredith Parmelee, a friend and neighbor with skills I would have driven a thousand miles to employ. To Faryal Russell for spreading joy and light through the halls of Henson. To Peter Lloyd and Beka Tischker at Razor & Tie for our new promising partnership. To the talented musicians and co-writers who contributed so fabulously to this album: Don Was, Jim Keltner, Bonnie Raitt, Linda Taylor, Randy Sharp, Darren Embry, Dillon O'Brian, Mark Goldenberg, Jamie Muhoberac, Mark Addison, Pam Rose, Michelle Lewis, Charlton Pettus, Frank Sorci, Jessica Tomich, Georgia Middleman, Liz Rose and Nina Singh. And thanks again to Linda for her deeply soulful playing and her unflinching extra-mile passion when there was always more work to do.

Special Thanks to Meg, my partner in everything who keeps me grounded and helps me jump, for her unwavering love and belief in the music, the future and most importantly in us. To my dad, Randy Sharp for his masterful playing on this album, to my mom, Sharon Bays for her keen photographs of the sessions (these can be viewed at myspace.com/maiasharp) and to both of them for constantly giving me (and everyone) new reasons to admire and learn from them.
