August, 2006! This is our first recording as “The Farnum Family”. What a blessing it has been to watch the children’s talents develop over the last few years and actually have an album to show the fruit of their labors!
We have so many friends & family that we wish to thank, however it is our wonderful savior, Jesus Christ, who has made it all possible. We thank Him for life, love, family, friends and this marvelous gift of music that adds so much joy to our lives.
A big “thank you” to the children’s grandparents for their love, support and help with instruments and lessons. We love you all!
Thanks to Jim, Teresa & Sterling for being the greatest “first-door” neighbors in the world and for introducing us to the song, “If You Believe.” We sure appreciated the babysitting you provided during several of the recording sessions!
Special thanks to Ricky Boen (Hannah’s fantastic fiddle teacher) for his patience and perseverance with our little “Missouri Mule.”
Thank you to the Boatrights, the Naylors, Maaziah Mountain, The 97th Regimental String Band, the Homestead Pickers and others whose music inspires the children (and Mom & Dad) to learn new songs.
To “Prince John” who so faithfully prayed for our family and our music ministry—God bless you, brother! And to all the dear ones near & far who encourage us with their love, prayers & friendship, our heartfelt thanks and a bushel of hugs!
And to Greg Bailey at Stone County Recording our greatest appreciation for making the studio experience as painless as possible for Daniel, Benjamin and Hannah. We applaud your many talents and “fun to be around” personality! We have many fond memories of the Bailey Farm...
And last, but certainly not least, to our precious blessings—Daniel, Benjamin, Hannah, Nathaniel, Maggie and Matthew—thanks for being such troopers during the whole recording process. God willing, we look forward to making music with you for many years to come.
