Album Notes

This recording documents one performance one night, at a house concert. A house concert is simply a concert in someone's home, instead of a traditional venue. The performance was totally acoustic with no amplification. Editing was done strictly to make it fit onto a single CD. A few songs and a few stories were left off, but much of the talking was left in, as were some fairly rough moments. The sequence was left as it happened, with the exceptions of the parts edited out. Catherine and I both feel that what is included here really puts the listener "in the room," which is all we can hope for because we were there and it was extremely moving. Bryce Taylor, our house concert host, really did a great job of recording the concert with five microphones and a direct line from the guitar, without anyone really noticing it was being recorded, including Catherine and I. (If we'd noticed at all, it would have ruined it.) The folks in the audience really brought a lot of heart to this night, singing along and REALLY LISTENING.
