NotesAlthough not explicitly identified as such, this book is a collection of photographs of Blues musicians accompanied by transcriptions of the exact words these musicians spoke in conversations with Robert Neff and Anthony Connor. The names "Robert Neff & Anthony Connor" appear on the book's cover, but they're not identified as authors, photographers, or editors (except on the copyright page where Robert Neff has his own copyright for the photographs). The introduction, written by Neff and Connor, states that they "talked with musicians in their homes, in motel and hotel rooms, backstage at theaters, in bars and parked cars. The words and photographs which come from these talks taught us about the musicians' lives, and the book evolved because we wanted to share this experience." Since Anthony Connor's role cannot be made entirely clear from any information in the book (although perhaps one can infer he recorded or wrote down the words spoken by the musicians -- i.e. conducted the interviews), he is simply listed in this entry as a contributor.
