Thanks to the following people, and many others who prefer to remain unadvertised, I was able to raise money to support the composing of Blue Bang for the Firebird Ensemble, with David Maxwell on blues piano. Some of the folks listed below have websites you can visit, others have simply allowed me to list their names publicly. I am indebted to all.

And here are a couple of pictures taken the night of the premiere to celebrate the completed project...
