JUST A NOTE 

My gratitude ever radiates to Beans Barton, Sean Walters and Red Dog Redmond who encouraged, trained and came to my aid during, before & after, those Formative Years in Houston, when I first started up my so-called music career (playing in public) back in 1985. 

Also to all the kind folks that played in The Trips, especially Gary Clark & John Hessel who formed the core of my band before I moved to New Orleans and after I evacu-vacationed to Houston post-Katrina.

And to Mark Fowler who dedicated about 10 years to the band and Matthew El D'Orazio, two Trips who will live in Trips Infamy (but I mean that in a good way!).

BLESS Y'ALL AND THANKS FOR ALL THE FUN!!!!
