Acknowledgments

I would like to express my sincere thanks to the following: Denise McCann Bachman for her support, creative input, and handling of all the mail so diligently; my manager Gilles Paquin in Winnipeg;
Vinyl Tap
producer Tod Elvidge; Chris Boyce for helping me formulate the early
Vinyl Tap
shows and create the template; Jon Conrad at Bachman Headquarters; Jennifer McGuire at CBC Radio for taking a chance on me as a radio host; Denise Donlon, the new head of CBC Radio, who encouraged me to keep the Rock Rollin'; Diane Turbide and Justin Stoller at Penguin Canada for their dedication to seeing this project through; my old friend, writer John Einarson, for all his research; to the listeners all over the world who tune in each week to
Randy Bachman's Vinyl Tap
; and to my fans who have supported all my musical endeavours over the years. “If there ain't no audience, there ain't no show!”

Rock on!

Randy Bachman
