We both believe in live, un-messed-with music, and we believe the new/old tradition of house concerts is returning the music to the community, taking it out of the usual commercial setting. So we decided to plan a series of house concerts and have them professionally recorded, then simply pick the best tracks and make that our album. We recorded three on the west coast: Vashon Island, Seattle, and Oysterville, Washington. A month later we recorded one concert in Petersham, Massachusetts. The music is presented just as we played it, with minimal editing and no overdubbing or added effects. You can hear the occasional squeaky chair, tapping foot, etc., but also the excitement and good energy of those musical evenings. Many thanks to Dale and Angela for their generous support and for believing in us. And thanks to those folks who graciously hosted the house concerts: Steve Austin and Marilyn Kleyn of Vashon Island, Washington; Ron Reed and Isla Ross of Seattle, Washington; Sydney and Nyel Stevens of Oysterville, Washington; and Susan Ott and Terry Burch and family of Petersham, Massachusetts. Thanks to recording engineers Tom Stiles (west coast) and Bob Mills (east coast) who captured (almost) every note.
