Special Thanks to:
Ed Deasy: Truly gifted photographer and writer, who got the ball rolling just by answering his email. Ed was willing to scrounge, reprint and share his impressions of Emily with time he didn’t really have to give up. You need to take a few moments to visit his website and say hello. Ed offers up some of the best slices of American life you never thought about, and gives exacting details about how he captured his print and other thoughtful insights.

Or The Charlottesville Sessions.
Thank You, Ed

my heartfelt gratitude for
Who helped in countless ways on countless days, most of which he had no time to spare, but spared it anyway. And mostly and sincerely for giving me Wes, Emily and a lifetime of musical inspirations.
It can never be repaid.
