Don Bryant Bailey is very pleased to have written Sailing Through Time - The Enchanted Musical. It has been a very rewarding and exciting process for him. This is his second musical that he has written. His first was Make Me A Cowboy - A New Western Musical Comedy. He wants to thank Kevin and Jon for their help. Thank you for the many words of encouragement. It has been a pleasure to work with both of them. Special thanks to his friend Lisa. Her ideas were terrific and very stimulating.

Everyone should be as lucky to have such an extraordinary friend as Shannon. Thank you for everything.

Don wishes wonderful dreams to everyone.

Kevin Kurth is a seasoned singer, actor, musician, arranger, and songwriter and has appeared in several national Broadway tours and at many regional theatres throughout the USA. He has arranged all of the music for this show and produced the CD recording in his own studio while singing the role of John. Kevin has produced several CDs including "Saint Louis Serenade" which is comprised of all original songs that he composed and performed. Kevin started working professionally at the tender age of 15 in historic "Gaslight Square" in Saint Louis. Kevin plays piano, accordion, guitar, bass, and banjo. His mother was a violinist in the philharmonic symphony and while growing up, he was influenced by the many orchestral sounds that all those wonderful musicians produced. He says he always has an orchestra playing in his head and he just has to let it out.

 
Jon Goeders undergraduate degree was earned at the University of Iowa and his first job after college was in a kidney research lab. He later moved to St. Louis, shifted professional gears, and earned a master’s degree in architecture from Washington University. In his chosen field, Jon has worked under the guidance of many St. Louis area architects. He has been included on teams of commercial design professionals and has specialized as a residential and remodeling designer. In 1998, one of Jon’s designs was featured in a Better Homes & Gardens quarterly periodical. In the same year, Jon’s home garden was featured on the cover of the St. Louis Post’s Lifestyles section when he captured the top prize of “best overall design” in the St. Louis region’s second annual Great Garden Contest. Subsequently, he has won a number of gardening awards.

Concurrently, Jon has worked on a number of residential design projects and written and completed The Night of the Millionth Dream – Revisited. The story is revisited, of course, because so many of its elements and musical motifs come directly or indirectly from Jon’s dreams. Of course, the storyline offers a more storyline-based explanation, as well. Too, Jon believes that some of his book’s characters and situations are allegorical. For example, he contends the Timit Sister Trio represents his three elder sisters.
