If we look back to 2005 we can say (in my opinion) it was a successful year for john hiatt. a brand new album "master of disaster" peaked at number 10 on the Top Independent Albums chart and on the album top 25 of American connection he peaked on number 6. release of the Austin Texas concert from 1993 on CD and DVD and another great DVD full house. then also the A&M label did a re-release from 3 albums named "chronicles". we were treated on some great concerts, solo or with the north Mississippi allstrars in the USA and in Europe as well.

On the archives it was a successful year too! we made a new design on our website, had a lot of new members on our forum, a lot of positive comments from record labels like new west records, vanguard records and other official authority's. We also had a lot of support from klanderman promotion, WXRT Radio, danima, pinkpop, hostingswijzer and many others. I wanne thank all of them for there great support. also a big "thank you" to Nineyear w, Bernie c, George f, Mary j, bob b, Morgana k, Emily d for all your help, and ofcourse john hiatt for the great music you made. But most of all i wanne thank all the people on the john Hiatt archives forum, you made me "going on" with the archives in good and in bad times! thanks to all my friends and family (jo, Pierre) for your time, support and interest.

thank you Astrid for believing in me!!
