This record is lovingly dedicated to all my family and friends over the last fifty years or so, who have cheered me on by asking me to sing for celebrations, social gatherings, weddings and anniversaries, birthdays, reunions, campfires, Sunday singings and many emotional departings.  I hope those who have gone on before are saving me just the smallest corner up there in the shade where I can continue to sing God's praises for the rest of eternity.

I gave my heart to Jesus at a little country church revival when I was only seven years old.  Many times, I would to to sleep during the services, but I loved to hear and sing all those old songs of praise.  And, I might add, it's still my very favorite thing to do.  Thank you all for your love and support.  You know who you are.

My mother and my wife have been my most enthusiastic cheerleaders.  Whispering Hope and Peace In the Valley are my mom's favorites, and Mansion Over the Hilltop is my wife's.  All the rest are favorites of several of my friends and family, and all are favorites of mine.

Thanks to my mom and my lifelong friend, Bud Hettinga, for their generosity and financial support.  And I surely don't want to forget those responsible for the background music and harmonies.  My prayer is that some song on this album touches a heart somewhere and brings a measure of cheer from me to you.  May God bless you one and all.
