To Dave Rubin, who helped make this possible; Frank-John Hadley, Michael Gray (You're the
"Prez"), Nadine "Bloodhound" Cohodas, who helped me dig up the facts; Shelton Clark for planting the
seed; Steve Herrman for his tremendous musicality; Fred James (producer, guitar player, general support
and source material), and all the soulful players: Bob Kommersmith (bass), Bryan Owings (drums), Phil
Rugh (keyboards); Jeff Kirk (sax guru); Clarence "Gatemouth" Brow n, Stanley "Buckw heat Zydeco"
Dural, Jr., Robert Jr. Lockwood, and Duke Robillard for the great experience of learning first hand by
their side the various shades of the blues; my parents Lois and A d Taylor for their constant support and
encouragement, and especially my wife Karen Leipziger who has shown me that the only limits we have
are self-imposed.

I dedicate this book to Karen for her love and support (and editing). Her belief in me has been
unswerving.
