the excuses would like to thank . . . Foghat, Big Freedia, Adam West, Julie Newmar, Eartha Kitt...
and special thanks to Chuck Britz - the engineer at Western Recording in Hollywood who knew well
enough to keep the tape rolling during Murry's visit in 1965.

3000 Words is dedicated to the memory of Dorsey and the almighty roadtrip.
Kerouac, Hunter S., Bukowski, all great reads, but Dorsey and his green canvas pajamas made
the most reliable guide of all... We saw UFOs, slept with stripper ghosts and met a coffee cup
beside the road... Dorsey kept us safe and got us home every time.

As always, thanks to friends and family wherever you are...
