First and foremost, the Garza Brothers and their families, for enriching our lives with the gift of music. Henry, Jojo and Ringo, the dreams may never have shown the hard work and the long hours, but we really appreciate y'all pouring it on for us!
The various management and support staff at all levels - people like Kevin Wommack and Gigi Greco and Stephen Lopez and Dan Mackta and Carlos San Miguel - take a bow! Thanks for your hard work!
Carlos Santana, Willie Nelson, and all kinds of music industry folks at Or and Epic and Sony - musicians, producers, etc - your assistance and their talent! What a combination!
And how 'bout the fans - of all colors and ages and musical tastes? Keep rockin' with the boys! When I wrote these words for the first time in 2003, I thought "Best new artist at the Grammys is just the beginning of what should be a long wild ride." In early 2005, LLB won their first Grammy - for Heaven. Let's see what 2006 brings!
A cymbal clash for my primary collaborator, LosLonelyGirl, the artistic part of the team!
And you Texas die hards - #1 LLB Fan LLBta2Grl, OhDannyBoy, 1LLBFan, the Blakester, VelvetSky, Jesse, Santeera, LaBobbieV, Lobo, Sherry*, JWINTX2003, STR, TotD, Ramos - too many to list! And let's not forget Boss Loopie Dee and her familia, and MorrisTheSpider, YAM and tons of others across the US and the world! Es un' Familia muy grande!
From the technical side of things, our current web hosting at 4d, and the development team at Allaire / Macromedia, for creating the ColdFusion development environment.
On the most personal of notes, muchisimas gracias to the Austin fan who turned me on to LLB. How do I ever say thanks enough?
And lastly, for those who put up with this eccentric hobby of mine - mi familia - thanks.
Sincerely,
AustinStratFan
