My dream has now manifest, but not without some of the finest and most innovative musicians and artists it has been my pleasure to work with.  As always the project has been a learning curve as are most games played against matter, energy, space and time.  Such joy though.

Thank you to all the family, friends and colleagues who have contributed and encouraged this work and who have believed in me all the way, and for your input and skills that have helped to make this work well.

My special thanks to Graham Walker who's talent as an instrumentalist and writer has been invaluable in the moulding of these melodies.

       
   

My special thanks to Dave Hayward, who agreed to take on the daunting task of producing, recording and moulding the work, with such skill and dexterity that is a joy to behold, and I offer my sincere gratitude, you have been a guiding light and magic to work with.

Thank you to all the musicians and artists who contributed and whose talents show throughout this recording.

I thank the fans for their continued support for me and the music and the "Great Spirit" for the gifts bestowed on me.

"Luke"

Having so much enjoyed Luke Guy Reed's previous album, I was really looking forward to this new one, and it was worth the wait.  This is a lovely collection of self penned songs about life and love, in nicely arranged musical settings, moods created are from wistful to cheerful.  It is an honour to be able to endorse this album, and I hope listeners will enjoy it as much as I have.  Sue McCartney - Southern Country Magazine

Another great album from Luke, good quality songs combined with high quality playing and Luke's instantly recognisable quality voice make this a first class listen.  Andy Crawley (mastering engineer)
