Special thanks go to all the lovely names listed in the credits of this album. Your unique talents have been my strongest inspiration. Thank you again for your patience, support but most of all your wonderful work.
I strongly believe in the law of opposites therefore I would like to take this opportunity to also thank all the people who never believed in this project. Without their discouragement I would have never aimed higher.
House Of Blue is dedicated to my late brother Vito Abbamonte. (1961-1995). R.I.P
