Lots of thanks for all your help with the page, and for spending hours with me creating different logo designs for the front page . . . which I didn't even use.  LOL  The page definitely wouldn't have been possible without you though, and it's always a joy to talk with you.  

Steve Weiner
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for contributing so many wonderful photos to this site, as well as your vast knowledge of Miss M during the onstage decade.  The Magazine Archive would practically be empty without your aid.  You are a true asset to this page and I'm thrilled to death to have you as part of the team.  You're a great guy, a wonderful friend and a true living Baltimore encyclopedia! : )

Thank you for sharing your many stories of working with Bette, along with all the great information regarding your beautifully produced album "Songs For The New Depression."  Also, thank you for the opportunity to help in reviving the many lost songs from those sessions.  I sure hope we're able to resurrect the album one of these days . . . I'll die trying.

You are one of the sweetest lads I've ever met!  I'm so lucky to call you my mate.  (That means friend in England for those who are thinking something else!)  Your love for Bette is endless, which I find adorable.  You bring happiness everywhere you go, and it's always a pleasure talk talk with you.  You're a terrific friend . . . and believe me, there are very few I'd EVER make a "Wind Beneath My Wings" video for, so consider yourself a special one!  GO ENGLAND! : )

And I thought I was obsessed with the early Bette years!  You are by far the king of obsession . . . but I still have more stuff than you, so ha!  LOL  You've become a real great friend and I'm so glad to have met you.  Just a pity it wasn't earlier when you were selling those damn booklets . . . we'll never live that down.  But I've had such a ball lately and you've been the reason for it.  You've also made me realize that there are fans out there who truly appreciate this website.  Thank you for everything and I look forward to our next 5 hour phone call.  Do you EVER shut up? LOL  


Very Special Thanks

Michael Gillespie

This page just would not have been possible without you.  Words can not even express the respect and appreciation I have for you.  I came to you with just a seed and you gave me a garden to grow my flower in.  Humm, why does that sound so perverted?  You gave me the chance to make this site what it is.   - you gave me the server to build it on, you gave me the support and encouragement to keep going, and most importantly, you gave me your friendship.  I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for me, and for this page.  It's a true privilege and honor working side by side with you on all these projects.  You are a wonderful man, a great friend and a true inspiration.  

Without you this page would not even exist.  You are one of my closest friends and I love ya to death.  You not only have been generous to a fault with me, but you are the one who really sparked my passion for the early days, and for that I thank you the most.  You've allowed me to enjoy an era that I would not have been able to experience otherwise.  I thank you from the bottom of my heart.    



BETTE,

All I can say is thank you for the years of entertainment that you've given to me, and to so many fans alike.  You are a great person and deserve so much credit for the things that you do.  I believe you're one of the greatest live performers there is, and you've left one hell of a legacy behind you.  I only hope I've come even half as close to showcasing that legacy talent within this page.  Thank you for being such a great inspiration to me, and for being a friend when there was no other.  I really hope you like the page.  

A loyal fan of the early days,    
Darrell.
