This was recorded in our living room, directly onto a cassette tape, with the most rudimentary equipment (more thanks to Michael Harmon, who has since cleaned it up a bit), with whatever local children we could gather together on a fall afternoon. We made ten copies of it, and sold them at a local crafts fair to raise money for our little town park. People really liked it, and said we should make more copies, so we did (one at a time, with two cassette decks). It remains a favorite recording. Comin’ Round the Mountain (trad.)
