Special thanks to Nicole Graham for her vocal portrayal of the crying father's daughter and to Darrell Grysko and Sharon Johnson for their work on the original demo recordings.
Also special thanks to Marc Epstein for inspiring "No One Wants To Be Alone", written for our original screenplay, "Ruby And Me".
To the poets Sal Anzalone and John Vasil: Nothing can be more fulfilling than the exchange of an idea, not even the publishing of one.

To Patsy and Rose, who have gone through it all with me. If I had a good hat I would take it off to you... but I don't, so I'll give you this.
