Lyraka Thanks:

Andy would like to thank:

First, and most important, I would like to thank the Empress of Mermaids.
The songs I have written would have been impossible without
her. It is a life-affirming pleasure to be
under her most sweet auspices.


For lifelong inspiration thanks also to Graham Bonnet, Ronnie James Dio, Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow (1975-1980),
Black Sabbath (all of their material except the Tony Martin years),
Yngwie Malmsteen, Randy Rhoads, Death (Chuck Schuldiner), Michael Schenker, Uli Jon Roth, Alex Skolnick, Jason Becker, Bathory (the band, 1985-1988), Gary Moore (only on lead guitar, no blues, thanks!),
Vivian Campbell (the Dio years exclusively), Manowar, W. A. Mozart, Haydn, Wagner, Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Deicide, Morbid Angel, L.V. Beethoven, Anton Bruckner and Gustav Mahler.


Special thanks to Joe Stump for his invaluable instructional videos,
personal tips, and for being the opposite of the "Unreachable Rock Star" personality

Jasmine would like to thank:

Jesus, Mary and all the Saints! Nothing compares to God. All glory be to God in the highest. I yearn to glorify God in all that I do.

I'd like to thank Hannah Fraser for being such a wonderful mermaid role model. I thank Dan McManis, Pelaez, and Arantza for their mermaid artwork and also the artists that have sent me inspiring fan art.
