Credit Where Credit is Due...

Occasionally throughout the course of this blog you will see asterisks followed by numbers (*1). You will find the corresponding credit here in this post. It will be edited as needed. I'm a big fan of giving credit where credit is due, and it is my intent to credit all authors and songwriters' works from which I borrow. If you notice a line that has not been credited, please email me or comment and I will do my best to get it corrected asap.

It should also be noted that the opinions and interpretations shared here on this blog are mine and mine alone. I have the utmost respect for all artists and, what I believe to be an author or songwriter's meaning in a group of words might be completely different from what he or she had originally intended when it was written. In other words, don't take my opinion for fact.

Oh...And one more thing. Neither myself, nor this blog has any affiliation with Jimmy Buffett or any of his companies or their subsidiaries. I have never met the man or even had a conversation with him (although both activities are on the bucket list....) and "Life Lessons from JB" does not imply that any of the information contained in this blog comes from Jimmy Buffett himself. Although, I'm sure he'd appreciate it if your interest in this blog led you to buy one of his books or CDs. If you would like official information on JB and his enterprise and various charitable causes, I can steer you to http://www.margaritaville.com/ .
