To have Michael Sykes working with us on our album and then to have Paul Heil choose it as a featured album on his program is a tremendous honor.  It is always a sure sign of God being in the middle of what you are doing when you know you could never have done any of it yourself.  We give Him all the glory for all of this and we look forward to what he has in store for our quartet.”
