Right to the Juke Joint A Personal History of American Music

Following Rose-anne’s advice, I started writing the book outline the next day. She has con-tinued to help me by editing the entire manuscript and encouraging me throughout the writing process. Other family members and friends were supportive as well; I especially want to thank Roseanne’s brother Vic Rini; my brother, David Mullen; my sister Linda Katz, and her husband, Bobby, for all the music we’ve shared and their interest in my articles and books throughout my scholarly career.
