"Working with George has been one of the greatest things to happen to me. There is so much I can say about George, this one instance will give you an insight as to the person he is; When I was 19, and with very little experience, he invited me to tour with his band. He provided the encouragement and belief in me to mature as a musician. Sometimes I feel this occurred at the expense of his own career efforts and the only reward being, simply, helping me achieve my dreams. This is the person George is to me. I will be forever grateful." - Earl Klugh
"In 1987 we recorded the "Collaboration" album. It is another of many highpoints in my career with George. We toured all over the world, filmed a video in Europe, and appeared on the tonight show with Johnny Carson - all in conjunction with this record. There were a lot of laughs and great memories made. The time spent both creatively, and on tour for this project, was one of life's great rewards."
- Earl Klugh
