Didn't read the booklet :) Just looked though, and there it is: Bernie Shaw 
of Uriah Heep. He was last in the list. Is that a place of honor?

btw, didn't anyone notice Bernie Shaw's name in the 'thanks' ? [a friend of 
Brian Vollmer's]

I got this CD a few weeks ago, and agree - it is way better than I expected. 
The first 2 songs alone are the best things Helix has done in 20 years. 
these guys play around a lot. Cool guys. Brian Vollmer is always on fb, and 
vocal about many topics, and always out there for the fans. Daryl Gray lives 
here in St Catharines, and is always playing somewhere local [solo] when 
Helix aren't on the road.
