"THE SEARCH PARTY IS A GROUP OF FIVE YOUNG, AWARE PEOPLE TRYING TO PRODUCE RELEVANT, RELIGIOUS MUSIC. JOANIE GOFF IS A SUPERB VOCALIST AND OCCASIONAL GUITARIST WITH A DEEP FOLK BACKGROUND. JIM CARVALHO, BASS, GUITAR, AND VOCALS, LAYS A FIRM FOUNDATION MUSICALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY FOR THE REST OF THE GROUP. PETE APPS, LEADS GUITARIST AND VOCALS, SUBTLY INJECTS HIS ELECTRIC IDEAS INTO ALL THE GROUPS ARRANGEMENTS. TIM KANG, DRUMMER AND GENERAL CUT-UP ASSIMILATES THE GROUP'S SUGGESTIONS INTO HIS OWN DYNAMIC STYLE AND OFFERS OBJECTIVE CRITICISM AND OPPORTUNE ADVICE THAT OFTEN SPELL AND TURNING POINT IN THE SONGS AND THEIR ARRANGEMENT. NICHOLAS T. FREUND, M.M., S.D.S., IS THE ORIGINATOR OF THE SEARCH PARTY AND IT'S IDEAS. COMPOSER OF THE GREATER PART OF THE SEARCH PARTY'S MATERIAL, HE DRAWS UPON INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF A COMPREHENSIVE SCOPE OF MUSIC RANGING FROM GREGORIAN CHANT TO ELECTRONICS. HIS EXPERIENCE IN COUNSELING AND HIS APPRECIATION OF THE JOYS AND FRUSTRATIONS OF EVERYDAY LIFE INCITED HIM TO USE MUSIC, THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE, TO REACH MORE PEOPLE THAN WOULD OTHERWISE BE POSSIBLE. THIS ALBUM, A PRODUCT OF SIX WEEKS' WORK, TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS AND A LOT OF DETERMINATION, IS A DEMONSTRATION OF THESE FIVE PEOPLE'S CONCERN TO YOU.

THE SEARCH PARTY WANTS TO THANK ALL THOSE WHO CONTRIBUTED FUNDS AND ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THIS PROJECT, AND ESPECIALLY MR. OWENS AND THE SAN FRANCISCO THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY, SAN ANSELMO, FOR THE USE OF MONTGOMERY CHAPEL.
