As always thanks to the Philly Crew for the master tape transfer and all the painstaking work they do and have done to preserve the music.
This recording is dedicated to Peg and Doug Waltner, the couple that started the Philadelphia Blues Machine concert series and brought so many great blues artists to the area.
