Also a big thanks to SkyBolt, for providing the wonderful story and lyrics, and to the rest of the fantastic cast, I think some of you were even more enthusiastic about this project than I was. A very special thanks to everyone who auditioned for the choir, even those who weren’t successful, you are all very talented and cutting the numbers down to something manageable was not an easy task! Finally, the most special thanks to all of my friends, fans and followers from all around the world, without your support and encouragement Fall Of An Empire would not have been possible, thank you for listening to my strange epic horsemusic opera.
