It's a miracle how certain events in our lifetime come to be. This collection of music from inception to recording has certainly been one of those miracles. I offer my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has helped make Milagro just that: Ralph Simon for his perceptive work as producer during both preproduction and recording; Sibyl R. Golden of Postcards; Dave, Jack, and Michael for their wonderful contributions and interpretations; Joe Barbaria for giving this music a perfect mix of traditional, yet current, sound; and Roger, John, Dave, Jack, and Willie for their sincere enthusiasm and beautiful blend. Also many thanks to Avery Burdette, Jim Presley, Eric Johnson, and Susan Davies of Yamaha for supplying me with an incredible piano, the CF3S. And thanks to Mickey and Ryan of Grandma's Music in Albuquerque for their support and help.

I would like to dedicate Milagro to my parents, for without their love and support, this miracle would not have come to be.
