I would like to extend my gratitude to John Mouradian and Mouradian Guitar, John Puhl at Dean’s Guitars, Jeff at Retro Music, all those at Dyno Records, Nuggets Records, Dave’s Guitars, and the Acton Jazz Café. Thank you to Huck Bennert, Leland Stein and everyone at the Regent Theatre Arlington, the Natick Center for the Arts, and the Narrows Center for the Arts in Fall River. Thank you to my friends at Barnes and Noble, Melissa, Paul, and Jeff, Four Eyes in Nashua, Kenmore Collectibles, Newbury Comics in Nashua and in Cambridge. I am grateful for all those at the Main Street Café in Groton, everyone at First Baptist Church of Littleton, and Stony Plain Records (Holger Petersen, Alvin Jahns, Peter Chapman, Angeline Cuming, and Crystal Sherris). I deeply appreciate the beautiful soulfulness of Mike Avery, Mike Buck, the Thompson sisters, and all the great bands in Boston. I send my love to Tom Travers and family, Brian O’Neil, Rob in St. Louis, Alan and Margie Forbes, Veneita, Chyrstald, Nancy H., Linda G., and all the friends of Bill and Lois W.

Much love and thanks to Dr. Martin, Cecilia Larson, John Sos and Sara, Zig Zeller, and Zach Zunis. I am grateful to Larry Kopp, Diane Blue, Julie Melucci, Nicholas Tabarias and his parents, and the Detroit Jasons. My deepest love is extended to Marj Butler, Willi Butler, Christine Shorey, Vernice and Dan Jones, Steve and Barbara Garfinkle, Seth Holzman, Stew Gatz and Brian, Vida and Arianna Olson.

All my love and respect go out to Bill Provost and family, Charlie, Anne Lee and Matthew Ellis, Rev. Ronny Lanier, Karen Sutton, Lyle Webster, John Court, Angela Strehli, and Alexis Kiss. All praise to the God-gifted guitarist Lucky Peterson, and to Lurrie Bell. A special soulful and musical thanks to Ana Popovic, Nick Moss, Kim Wilson, Willie Lomax, Bobby Radcliff, Racky Thomas, David Maxwell, Ron Levy and Peter Green. In deep gratitude always to my mentor and family, Otis, and Masaki Rush.

Special love and thanks go out to the Wetzel family, and my blues playing brother Joe. All praise and thanks to the brotherhood of the Broadcasters, Dave, Lorne, Jimmy, and the entire Broadcaster family, to beautiful Tommy and Suwanna, Rocky and Eddie. I am so grateful to everyone in the Broadcaster family for their everlasting love, artistry and spirituality. Much love to Debbie and Donna for without them and their blessings and love this album would not be possible. Donna you are the center of my universe and have my eternal gratitude and love always. Thank you!

This album is dedicated with all deepest love to Hubert Sumlin, and to the memory of Bob Babbitt, Duck Dunn, Whitney Houston, and Gil Scott-Heron. I send special prayers for the victims of violence, including those in Colorado, the Sikh Temple, and the three beautiful girls in Dorchester.

Always carry hope and an open heart in your life. Don’t quit before the miracle happens.

Love, Ronnie
