Recording Notes

These songs were first recorded direct to analog master in 1991 and digitally remastered  in September 1999. 
"Sugar Cat Rag" is in standard tuning. 
"Rachel Ann", "Honey Bit", "Harrisburg Shoe Full", and "Snowbugs" are in open "D" (DADF#AD).
The rest are in open "G" tuning (DGDGBD).
All songs were written by Norton Wade.
Three different hand-made Lo Prinzi guitars were used: each its own key. 
A Shure SM-81 condenser mic was used in 12" proximity.
A Roland DEP-5 effects processor and an Alesis Microverb were used with Roland mostly set on a slight stereo delay. 
Two other effects were used for some variation. 
You may wish to listen with headphones to hear the effects best. 
Please enjoy!
Special thanks for the cover art taken from a detail drawing by Henry Wynn a fine artist as well as a fine picker and friend.
