Joe's CD Thank You's

Thank You
My Higher Power the heaviest of all hands. The One who holds me up when I think I'm the genius who put this thing together. But as my father would say "God's work must truly be our own." And this work of art could not have been done without so many talented human beings and a few celestial ones.
Joe Carrier - you gave wings to my words and let my music fly. I am speechless. All I can do is look to the heavens in thanks. We wouldn't be here without you.
Donnie Wahlberg - My conciliere - pickin' me up from my bootstraps since I was 12 years old. I know you'll be there in the future. You've been a quiet inspiration for me and have lead by example. That's the most any friend could want. You'll always have a special place in my heart.
Danny Wood - You "got my back" since way back. Your belief in me helped me believe in myself. You were there in the beginning with this and I'll never forget that.
Phil Greene - to the fastest man in the east. Yeah right! Because of you, I will always look fondly on my first album. Alot of laughs, alot of stories, unfortunately they were all told on the clock. But you still make great records.
Vince Evans - One of the angels I was talkin' about. You are so unselfish with your talent. I really look forward to working together again. God bless you.
Larry Thomas - You added that little somethin' where ever and whenever it was needed. Your belief in me meant alot.
Tom Soares - The tone man, not a better set of ears in the business. Thanx for keepin' me in the pocket. For your talent and your friendship, thank you.
Marya Lowry - For teaching me what voice is really all about. I know we've only just begun. Thank you.
Normandy Sound - an institution. Thanx to Ralph, Dick, Fred, Rob and Chuck. And the town of Warren.
Joanne Nici - You've been there for me more than anyone in this crazy business. Standing by me as I figured out what exactly I wanted. Thanks to everyone at Don Buchwald Agency.
Jamie Roberts - Shattering all the myths about lawyers. Thanks for hangin' in there.
And finally to my manager Jerry Jaffe - my main man, may this be the beginning of a wonderful partnership. Thanks also to Rose and Bill McGathy.

Boston - first to David Corey and Jon Ivey at Kiss 108 and the dream team - Matty Siegel and the morning show team - Billy Costa, Sue, Corinne, Jody and Ed McMann, Dale Dorman and "party man" Arty. My gratitude is immeasurable. Seth Greenburg - kid!. Patrick Lyons - thanx for the key to the city. Richie Balsbaugh - for all you've done in the past and all you'll do in the future (hint, hint).

Danny, Jimmy, Ellen and Lenny Lewin - you guys are the best. Thanks to Maurice and Dick - I hope I made you proud. And to Nina, the sweetest girl in the whole world - I hope you always stay the same 'cuz there's nothin' 'bout you I would change.

Jamaica Plain - the pond, the sugar bowl, the monument, pinardi's, classic cleaners, same old place, j.p. lick's and the town that is my home (sorry Brookline). And to two guys that need to get the hell out of there (but never will) Mike n' Ryland (that's Ryland, not roland, not rydel, not rahrah. Its R-Y-L-A-N-D). To my whole crew - gettin' my back all these years. Biz, Rice, Kev, Noodles, Dini, Egg, Radar, and Reggie. See you at the 'horn.

My family - I don't know how people get along without: 1) at least 7 sisters who are there all the time, even when you don't want them to be, and 2) a brother to be your fullback as you walk into the endzone. Judy - your talent and creativity inspire me. Alice - my godmother, you've always looked after me. Susan - you teach me how to care. Patricia - brings me home. Carol - your love for me makes me be all I can be. Jean - my moral meter. Kate - the great defender. And I know why I only have one brother because he's all any brother could ever want - the inimitable Tommy Mc, I love you, dude. To my parents, Katherine and Tom. You have given me so much. My only retribution is to live by the morals and values that you have taught me. And Mom, I promise to "be a good boy" and Dad I promise to "tell 'em who I am." My brothers in law Joe, Joe, Les & Greg and my beautiful sister in law, Stacy. To the cutest nieces in the world - Kayla, Audrey, and Leah. And the heir to my throne, Danny Jacobs. And to my godson, Seth. I love you all. Thanks to all my cousins - the McIntyres, uncle Dickie, the Bowens, the Youngs-Peach and the Roaches.
Lastly, the fans - the hard core ones, the crazy ones, the ones that grew out of it, the ones that grew into it, the ones in the past, the ones in the future, and you - the one that matters most, thank you for listening. I hope you understand where I'm coming from and where I'm trying to go. Its not too heavy, it's not too deep, but I believe in every word of it. I hope you do too.
Stay the same,

Joe Mac (signature)

Dedicated to Mr. Adams of Mission Hill. God called him a little too soon, but he lived with a spirit that could fill three life times. He was young at heart. Plus, he thought I was going to be the next Frank Sinatra. This one's for you, Mr. A.
