| Thanks
|
- This album is dedicated to Winnie Mandela for being a living example of someone who has taught me the virtues of patience, courage, perseverance and self-esteem
- FREE NELSON MANDELA
- Also thanks to all the other people involved in my musical growth, especially ny own "B Boys." Jim Mazza, Michael Barrackman, Neil Portnow, Dan Hartman, The System, and the Flyte Time Gang. Mavis Staples for her voice, George Clinton for attitude, Peter Gabriel for his spirit vocals, and J. Coco (whom I prefer to call God) for one of his creations... And my own musical mafia, Vicki and Ina.
