Every once in a while I sit and think about how much help friends and fans have been to us over the past year as we’ve worked to gather together his catalog and make it available. And how grateful we are. These include:

Anton Long, who has helped in too many ways to list (including taking photos, videos, and regularly volunteering to roadie and transport drums), but also he for lending his vinyl copies of Napalm Beach’s Teen Dream and Movin’ To And Fro to transfer to CD.

Jason and Tarrah Moore for roadie help and for letting us copy their extensive catalog of Napalm Beach, Snow Bud, and Chris Newman albums on CD, and for letting us scan the album art off of their original Snow Bud cassette so that we could make a t-shirt. They have also photographed us and taken a lot of video footage.

Matt Loomis, ex-Napalm Beach roadie, for lending us his rare never-been-played copy of Rumbling Thunder (Napalm Beach & Dead Moon live in Germany) to transfer to CD. (Which we plan to do, very soon).

Bob Stewart for donating his copy of Napalm Beach’s 1984 “Pugsley” cassette.

Larry Massengale for holding on to and returning several of Chris’s albums including Napalm Beach Thunder Lizard and the very rare Snow Bud Stoned and Alone as well as the Snow Bud Vegetable Matter cassette.

Eric N. Danielson for researching and writing a (still-unpublished) biographic essay and creating a full discography.

Marcus Prem for researching and offering edits to the discography, as well as collecting just about every album Chris has done.

Jeff Larson for stocking Chris’s albums, actively working to sell them, and for selling us the last handful of original copies of Napalm Beach’s 1993 Curiosities at a very low price so that we could re-sell them, and also for writing the first ever reviews of Boo Frog’s first two albums.

Greg Sage and Zeno for getting Napalm Beach started, keeping Rock & Roll Hell in print, for mailing us the album master, and especially for 1. not taking any of Chris’s publishing, and 2. paying royalties to Chris and Sam.

Jack Endino for engineering the latest Snow Bud, mixing/mastering some of it on his own time, and also for recording a 1985 Napalm Beach performance off the radio, and 25 years later, digging it up, burning it to CD, and mailing it to us. (Among other forms of support.)

Everett True for being the most honest, original, and fearless music critic ever.

& always, our families for providing us the foundation we need to work and survive.

These are just a few… and just from this past year.
I know there are many more & I will add to this.
Where Would We Be Without Thee?
WE ARE BLESSED.
