Deston thanks:
My mother, Elvira Philips, for her continued love and support and words of wisdom, Grandma Philips, Aunt Geneva, Aunt Irva, and Aunt Arnetta who have all helped me in the struggles of my life. I am forever grateful to you all. Thanks to my brothers in Hepcat (past and present), Elyse Rogers and her husband Pablo Mathiason, his brother Johnny and wife Amy, our friends at Epitaph, Ron Lomas, Andy, Mike, Mary, and the gang. Thanks Ron and Kate for that last superbowl party. Lino Trujullo, honorary Hepcat member forever for his musical inspiration and very cool personality. (Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the Vainest of them all!) And thanks goes out to his lovely wife Melissa. Greg Narvas, where are you?! Don't fade away my brother! My nice friends in the Cover Ups, Stacey, Chris, Gina, Lauren, and the gang. Sharon and Natalie Williams at Goldenvoice and Civilized Artist Management, JessicaS and Mary (glad you're back Jess!), Brian and Paul from the Rhythm Doctors, Luis Correa for his Black Pool memories of Ocean 11 and Dynamic Pressure, Ginger Reyes from the Halo Friendlies, Gerald and Jeremy at Gammers Republic, Mike Malone and Isaiah, Nina and Nancy S, Piper F (Café Bleu) for her great photography and great patience, Sam Hamilton, Peter and Georgiana, The Ramirez sisters (Ericka, Claudette, and Renata) for their continued support of Hepcat. Honorary mention goes out to the good people at Island, Trojan and Heartbeat Records, for without their extremely valuable compilations, Jamaican music may have been even harder for me to find. My closest friends and the rest of the world are in your debt. We thank you. One more thing before I go: The song "Live On" is dedicated to all of us out there who are constantly against incredibly hard circumstances. Life doesn't get any easier, only harder - but the truth is things can and WILL change if you really believe and fight hard for your goals. The song is especially dedicated to Mr. Raul Talavera. Raul, I know things for kind of screwed up with our friendship, but I just want to say I'm very sorry. I never meant for it to turn out the way it did. We all love and miss you my brother, hope you and your family are doing well. Live on.
