Thanks to
Anita Collins, for an uncanny combination of encouragement and candid feedback, and for being my better everything

Will and Cassie Collins. Everything you do is dusted with art, and I am proud to be related to you

FJ Ventre, Barry Gray, and Scott Dameron for showing me what my music sounds like with a badass band

Crystal Hariu-Damore and Pete Damore for bottomless kindness and humor, for strong coffee, and for the spook on “Look Out” and “Jenny and James”

Jaimee Harris. I often heard your voice in my head when I was writing these songs. Thank you for coming to North Carolina and singing them for real

The Tunesmiths, for the hayfork at my backside every month
