The Producers Would Like to Thank:
Leadership Mount Allison for the crucial funding that finally made this project a reality; Jonathan “Scooter” Clark for his additional funding, the use of his equipment at all hours of the day and night, and the countless good times, both making this CD and otherwise; Jennifer Echols for being both immensely talented and an absolute pleasure to work with; Michelle Strain and Convocation Hall for providing a home for the album and its producers on many a late night; Ian Allen for letting us play with his toys; John Mullane; Louise Artichuk and Dave Anderson for their technical contributions to the album – without then we would be missing some truly great music; and of course all the wonderful musicians who braved inexperience, delays, equipment failures, cross-country trips treacherous weather, and two car accident to give of their time and talent to make “Conduct Becoming” a reality. It is an honour to have worked with all of you, and an even greater honour to present your work to the world.
Drew Dudley: I would like to thank Mom, Dad, and Sarah for always giving me their pride and support, each in their own unique way. Marc Carnes for being a part of basically everything I’m proud of having done since I met him, and quite simply being the most talented and giving person I know; Jonathan Clark for putting up with me and for basically making this thing happen; Mike Allison, for having the talent that first made me want to showcase Mount Allison music; Craig Harris for making me always wonder, “so what should I do next?”; Annie, Caley, and Anne for showing me what friendship means, and L.A., Robin, Amanda, Kevin, Daemon, Deb, J., Steve, Colin, Jess, Jen, NJ, Geoff, Kat, Lee, Carole (whew!) and the rest for never letting me forget it. I’d like to dedicate my work on this project to the memory of my friends Scott, Tim, and Khrista. The memory of their songs, smiles, and laughter is the soundtrack of my life, and it is beautiful music indeed.
Marc Carnes: After living on borrowed time, money and equipment, the fruits of our labour sit before you. Fuled by the realization of just how close cancer can hit, be it friends (who are too often family) and family (whom are too often friends) this CD is a testament to those who have played such an important role in my life. I thank you all for who you are; Mom & Dad, Cindy, Nigel, Robin, Lee, Mike; the boys off 44, the boyz of 4_2, J, Jess, Amanda, Jennie, Thrills, Scooter, Kevin, Evan, Colin, Lisa, Matty, NJ, Anne, Sarah, Davey, Ralph, Kris, Paul, Jeff, THE ARTISTS ON THIS CD – so much talent & heart, Nanny, Krista (miss you) & finally, Drew (here’s your Baby dude, this one DEFINITELY looks good on the monitor.
