On a Sunday afternoon in September we gathered together many talented and spirited friends in our living room and raised our voices to the heavens. We sang, clapped, laughed, ate green chile stew and tried to balance some of the darkness in this world since September 11, 2001 with as much light and life as we could generate. Thank you to all of our friends who helped us out. Go tell it on the mountain...love is here to stay.

Special thanks to Tom Chandler, Karl Heinz Siber & Anneli Baumann, Dale & Phyllis Gage, Andy Murphy & Jan Seides, Carla Jimenez & Jim Freeman, Dale & Jackie Dingley, Jim Stevens, everyone at Brenda Ladd Photography, Tracy Wesch, Lisa Rolke & Mark Turner, Darleen Gage, Taylor Guitars, Susan Kolliopoulos, Sondra Cherico, Janet Van Sickler, Ronna Martin, the angel chorus and all or friends and supporters in radio around the world, but especially KUT, KGSR, KVET, KASE, KPFT, KFAN, KSYM and KNON in Texas.

Love to our kids, Sam, Casey and Troupe, from Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus.

Reviews:

"Some holiday records try to bowl you over with studio production and pickers, trusting overwrought pathos to pass for art. One More Christmas--both the song and the entire CD--are the antithesis of this sort of artificial sweetener. Every song is a unique listening experience."
