Special thanks to the fine people at BC Corrections for the progressive work they do, without whom this collection of songs would never have come to be. Every province and territory in Canada should follow their lead, that is, if you want to call it corrections.

As Johnny Cash once said while performing for indigenous people, ’I have very little Indian blood in me, but tonight, I have a hundred percent in my heart for you’. I thank Jim Leyden, Robert Nahini and the Coast Salish people for their friendship and teachings.
