Many thanks to George Walker Petit, without whom this album wouldn’t have existed. You’re a true compadre, George, and I must say it again: Where have you been all my life?

Mil gracias to Oscar Zambrano and Zampol Productions, border troubadour and painter Tom Russell for the original cover art (Blue Horse), Charley Robinson of Iconoclast Design, Mariah Parker of Mettagraphics, and Groovehouse.
