Acknowledgments I wish to thank the entire staff at ABC-CLIO, as well as the copyeditors and others with whom they subcontract for all of their help in getting this volume from the concept to the published stage. I also wish to thank my wife and best friend, Karen Perone, for all the support that she con- tinues to give me on all my writing projects. I also especially want to thank Karen for putting up with listening to (in one variant) the chord progression I-IV-I-I, IV-IV-I-I, V7-IV-I-I many, many times over the past months, as well as for putting up with my fumbling through Big Bill Broonzy’s “Guitar Shuffle.”
