Acknowledgements

Deborah Maynard
For her technical expertise without which this project could not have proceeded, and her encouragement, and for jumping down this rabbit hole with both feet all the way to bottom.

David Millstone

Ben Williams and the staff at CDSS
For their enthusiastic support, and for their wonderful rendition of Bob's CDSS Jig.

Sarah Bauhan
For providing information, Book 15, and for her encouragement and enthusiasm.

Everyone Who Participated
For their whole-hearted participation, the over 750 musicians who played the tunes, logged them into the project, shared their memories of Bob and the lasting impact on their lives, their chord speculations, their favorite tunes.

Special thanks to Justin Godin (Merrimack, NH) and Charles Fisher (Delmar, NY) for persevering through the year. Justin logged the first tune (Scotty O'Neil) and Charles and Justin together the last two tunes. Thanks also to Allyson Purpera for playing the last 10 tunes in the New Hampshire book, and driving to Mississippi on the last day of 2023 to play Bob's tunes for a bunch of deer in a field.

Special thanks also to Barry Nielsen (Hooksett, NH), for encouragement, support, for sharing his great photos and stories, and for inspiring a great tune - The Dancing Bear.  You can see his remembrances here and here, and learn about another tune Bob dedicated to him here.

Ralph Canapa

Jane Orzechowski & Deanna Stiles, Old New England

Carol Compton, Brattleboro Music Center and Amy Cann, Upper Valley Music Center
For early encouragement and feedback, and playing all the bizarre tunes I want to play, no matter how weird.

And so many others. I can't think of a single person who, when I proposed this project, said I was crazy. Maybe they all knew it and were too polite to tell me.
