In the process of recording this album, the decision was made to stay true to the original musical arrangements we perform in concert. With the exception of Phil Keaggy's inspiring performance on "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," all songs appear on the album just as they are performed live...with three people. To our knowledge, we are the only three person quartet in existence. Merry Christmas

The players: Michael Aukofer, Brad Layher, David Dibbern (The only three person quartet in the known universe, since the fourth member, jack a. lope, is not a person)
Produced by: Michael Aukofer
Engineered by: Nathan Zwald
Mixed by: Russ Long at "the Carport," Nashville, TN
Mastered by: Hank Williams at "MasterMix," Nashville, TN
Recorded at: "The Whitehouse Studio" and "The Carport", Nashville, TN
Art Direction and Cover Design by: Carrie Theobald and Dana Zondory
