First, for those who made the songs and lived that world that needed them: Chinaman and Alex and Ten-Four and Smitty and Bacon & Porkchop and Lightnin' and Cowboy and G.I. and Tippen and Tippett and Spring and C.B. and Matt Dillon and Filmore and all those others, named and unnamed.
And, second, for all my other friends in their own prisons, some public, as this one, and others terribly or beautifully private, just all over the place.
