Thanks to Barry and Marian Carter for all their help getting this
recorded, and for playing and putting up with me. They have a great duet called
Inish. Wellington, New Zealand is lucky to have them now, and many in
Salt Lake City, Utah lament their recent relocation. Check out their music at Barry's site.
Barry
and Marian used to play in Crighkey with Dan Lutton, Deborah Wrathall,
and I. We made a recording, The Five Legged Table, you can get it at The Crighkey
Page. Playing festivals and such was great fun, I've missed the
Crighkey folks since I've moved to Arizona.
Chris Miles did the
art for the cover. Actually he did the art first, then was so good as to let me
use it for the cover. The name Adjustments was his for the painting, but
it seemed to fit, as this CD took me so long to get finished. He has some
incredibly cool pictures (and some for sale including reasonably priced prints)
at Chris's site.
I
also owe a huge thanks to Jay Barnhurst, who plays gutiar on Adjustments.
Without intention, Jay gave me the motivation to write much of the music on the
album, as we really clicked musically and it is such a pleasure to jam with him.
For a while Jay and I played with Tyson Costello in a band called
Quagmire, whose name doesn't seem quite so amusing these days as it did
back in the late '90s.
