___________________________________________________________

I'd like to thank Eric Clapton for enabling me to fulfill a lifelong dream. Working with a true genius has been an inspiration and pure joy! I feel blessed to have such comaraderie [sic] in a field that I love so much. In addition I would like to acknowledge with deep gratitude some special people for their creative and supportive assistance all through this musical adventure, Paul Waller, Lee Dickson, Simon Climie, Alan Douglas, Norman Matthews, and my managers Sidney Seidenberg and Floyd Lieberman... B.B.
___________________________________________________________

Finally we got the chance to go into the studio together, this is something we have been talking about for a very long time, and that I have been dreaming about all my life. B.B. is my hero, always has been, the fact that we can go on the same record together has made that dream come true. I want to thank Norman, Simon, Sidney, Michael, Alan, Tom, Lee, Floyd, Doc, Nigel, Vivi, Graham and most of all Melia and Aibo for their love and support... E.C.
