Liner Notes
"This album was recorded at the Sound Shop in Nashville,
Tennessee. Claude Hill was the Engineer and Mike Melford the Producer.
The entire album is dedicated to the memory of a dear friend-
Bob Burtnett of Chillicothe, Illinois who passed away November
28th, 1975 and will be missed by all of his friends up and down
the Illinois, Mississippi, Ohio, and Tennessee Rivers. A move
is under way right now to name a navigation light for him on the
Illinois River.
The water color of the Pittsburgh and Cincinnati Packet Virginia
was done by Willy Matthews. Thanks to Benny Martin for allowing
me to breathe on his name in Tater Tate and Allen Mundy and apologize
to everyone I had to leave out. There were no overdubs or electronic
effects used. The feet were picked up through a piano pickup on
a piece of particle board. All pickups and pre-amps were Barcus-Berry,
the banjo was a new GTR Hearts & Flowers Model tuned low,
the guitar was a Noble and the fiddle didn't have any kind of
label in it at all.
"I made up every one of these songs (as much as you can make
up anything) and they are published by John Hartford Music,
BMI except for Skippin' in the Mississippi Dew which is
published by Fantasy Music, BMI and Little Cabin Home on the
Hill which was written by Bill Monroe and Lester Flatt and
published by Peer International and Dueling Faces (Banjoes)
who nobody seems to know who wrote."
This is Flying Fish Record No.020
FF-020
"The seeming technical imperfections in this recording which
may be indiscernible to the listener were included at the request
of the artist.-Claude Hill"
Released: 1976
