This history was compiled by researching a number of sources including articles, interviews, books, web sites, personal notes and correspondences. Significant attempts were made to cross check facts and dates. Additions or corrections to data may be mailed to John Herdt. The following people have helped me personally with information or photos over the last few years, and if I missed anybody let me know immediately! I'd also like to take the opportunity to give special thanks to Tim & Teri Martin for their contributions to the Tommy Bolin Archives since its inception. – John Herdt, February 2005
