We want to thank the founding members of Hudson River Line who aren’t playing with us anymore, but are still part of the HRL family: John Ohly, guitars; Peter Smorodin, bass, and Joe Kapuscinski, drums. We are grateful for their skills and energy that helped establish the band and made it so much fun. We also want to thank the musicians who we have shared the stage with over the years, including Steve Pimpo, Alan Tofig, Steven Mustakos, Marc Israel, and Dan Messeca, our “sister bands,” One Particular Harbour and The Minor Fall, and our friends from Philadelphia Freedom, a Tribute to Elton John.
