It is of course impossible and even a bit unsavory to list
comprehensively everyone who made me sit up and take note... regardless
of whatever base or subconscious motives move me, here are a few
luminaries without whos presence on my radar would have made me less
than the current mish-mosh:
• Mort and Marilyn, my parents
• Mark, my bro
• Suzan, my wife
• Chuck Ryan and Amy Vance (the Illinois years)
• Phil Rector (ibid), Mark Cantrell (ibid)
• Harold, Chuck, Doug, Sally, Lisa, Rick, Judy, Kym, Matthew and all
the high school freaks I hung with at Leon
• Bob Wall and Betty Lundy
• Bob and Janet, Jeff and Dina, and the Electric Flamingo bunch
• Steve Taylor, of course
• Tom and Jeannie Ray
• Dynee Marmish and LCFC and Tana and Larry...
• Co-op Books and Records
• Ronda and Brett
• Mark Witten
• Vicki Mariner and the SPECTRUM collective
• Irwin Friedman, Nancy Muller
• The Speed Queens and all the bands I've played with since
• Dan Urqhart
• Shirley Tellander
• Phil Gorden
• Rhea and Warren Clary
