Big day for me here. After lots of hard work Roots and Wings is finally released. Best record i’ve ever made by a long long mile, i’m immensely proud of it. Massive thanks to all of the unbelievable musicians who played on it, Sadie and Megan for their beautiful art, Shoko for putting the site together, Fargo and Goatee records for getting the word out, all at Topspin, G$, Don Sternaker for the sounds, my brothers in The Cardinals, all of my friends who hung with me through it, and y’know, everyone really.^[2]
