All these tunes are from the same recording sessions that went into Reap What, You Sow(?), our second recording done in March 2004. Imagine a sow that has a huge litter, uncontrollable, little blind mute piglets all over the floor. Each one is special, yes, but we just didn't have space for them all, so we pickled a bunch and now we're cracking the jars open. I know food metaphors are cliche in old-time music, and so are pigs, but this recording is old-school that way. It's fiddle tunes done around one microphone with a homemade package & hand-drawn cover. It should be on a cassett. Alan Garren engineered the recording, and can be contacted through his web site: www.waltzingbear.com. The Reverend P.T. Grover did the artwork for the cover. Stumptown Printers did the letterpress printing, www.stumptownprinters.com.

Biddy / Mary Wants a Lover / Trouble Among the Yearlings / Muddy Creek / Hell & Scissors / Jeff City / Icy Mountain / Sleepy Lou / Jaybird Died with the Whooping Cough / Knock Around the Kitchen Until the Cook Comes Home / Silver Lake Waltz
