Dear Redbone Warriors:

     Thank you so much for taking the time and energy to SIGN AND SHARE this very important petition. If we don't show our love and support for Redbone to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, then there is a good chance nothing will be done to nominate and induct them.

     As a small "Thank You" for your heroic efforts in spreading the message of this paramount petition, I've included this link to a free copy of my latest work, "My Search for 'Niki Hoeky': Granddaddy of Swamp Rock (A Scholarly Analysis)" , which examines one of Rock's most important songs, written by Pat and Lolly Vegas and Jim Ford in 1965, a song which created an entirely new genre: Swamp Rock - later made famous by Credence Clearwater Revival, Tony Joe White, Jim Stafford, and of course, Redbone, et al. Rather than publish it, I humbly offer this treatise to you as a gift to punctuate your holiday season - which I pray is wonderful for you and your family. (You have permission to share it with whomever you wish.) 

     Please contact me with any questions you have, and as always, Niki Hoeky!
