I dedicate this website with love to my Bubbe "Ro" & my "Papa" (Zadie) Joe. This site is all their fault. When I was about two years old, they gave me a copy of "Katz Pajamas" and a copy of "Katz Puts On The Dog". If you know me personally, then this will explain alot!
I also must dedicate this to my wife, who puts up with me being on the computer!

During my years of collecting and research, I've been encouraged, helped and traded with by the following folks, in no particular order:

Special Thanks to: John Wood (for allowing me access to his tentative copies of the RCA rehearsals), Scott Corbett (for the LPs, the RCA pamphlet, and all of the other tidbits he's unselfishly traded away), Ted Hering (for the gifts in the mail), Jack Mirtle (for all of the information he's willingly shared), Jordan R. Young (for the articles, criticism and anecdotes that he's provided), Allan P. Weiss (for the items regarding his Dad), Earl Bennett (for his friendship and his anecdotes), Joe Siracusa (for his friendship and his tales of playing for Mickey on occasion), Will Friedwald (for asking me to serve as "Katzultant" on the "Simcha Time" CD, for sharing, and for his very unselfish attitude), Harry Rogin (for his enthusiasm and for his extensive compilation work), Mike Kieffer (for opening up his collection to me, and for being a constant source of information and encouragement), and Dr. Demento, for continuing to play Mickey's stuff on his program, and for playing my request for "Jones Polka" on the air! (I won a t-shirt.)

A very special thanks to Si Zentner who's corresponded with me lately and who helped to create so much enjoyable music that I've enjoyed for the past 32 years!
