I wish to give hearty thanks to Electro-Fi Records and Andrew Galloway for his love for Blues and Traditional music and for being there and “ Holding High the Torch”. I am eternally grateful for having the fine musicianship of Mel Brown as well as Ken and Chris Whitely. Their spontaneous creativity and personal fellowship made this recording session a pure pleasure. To The sound engineer/bass player Alec Fraser at Liquid Recording Studio, who can make a bass sound like a tuba in a parade, in heat. A solid thumbs up! A big thanks to Lee “ Sometimes Bad Man” Dabagia and Paul Hill for your extraordinary writing talents along with my dear friend Johnnie Mae Dunson-Smith, I love you too!
 
I salute the work of videographer, Mako Funasaka a class act for Talkin’ Blues and the brilliant photography of Gary Collver (He's got me smilin' this time). I thank all of the many individuals who have given me the Blues. You know who you are. You have made me. And last but not least, to Laura Marie for her fine barbeque.
