Very special thanks to those who helped way beyond expectation: Barbara and John Szabo; Blaise Szabo; Michael Cuscuna (the Jazz Messiah); Medvigy (Micky) Miklós in Budapest; Terri Tilton and Jimmy Stewart; drummer and professor Bob Morin; Göran Åkerstedt in Sweden; Paul Hahn in Vancouver, British Columbia; and Maggie and Richard Thompson.

Of course, thank you to Gabor Szabo for the music.

Most of all, there is Dianee, who helps me understand. I dedicate this to her.
