Audio Samples

This CD finally came together after I spoke to Liz Masterson in Arvada in 2007. She lined me up with Butch Hause, and away we went. Liz also knocked out some harmony.

Butch's engineering and production magic is here. He wiggles a slide, turns a knob and all at once the sound is right. He makes a phone call, another musician comes in and lays down tracks; then he plays bass and guitar on it too.

• Ernie Martinez added banjo, mandolin, and dobro to this project. I think you could tie a thread to a stick and he'd make it sound good.

• Jon Chandler, harmonica player "extra-ordinaire." Amazing!

• Hanna Alkire sat down with her cello and carried me away on a tune of mine I've sung for years.

• Sarah Lincoln sang harmony simply, sweetly, and right on the money.

• Gordan Burt carried in his fiddle, messed with the tunes, then Boom! Butch and I looked at each other and said, "He's warmed up."

• Chris Kennison brought his "frying pan" Hawaiian steel guitar and a ukelele and proceeded to cook with both.

• John Magnie squeezed and tickled his accordion to perfection.

• Scott Wilseck, "The Perfessur," knocked the whey out of the keyboard.

What a group of professionals!

Catherine encouraged me every step of the way. See why I call her Sweetheart?

THANKS, AND RIDE EASY, PARDS
