Personnel: 
Dan Easley - vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, piano, organ, accordion, electric bass, mandolin, harmonica

Self-recorded in Harrisonburg, Keezletown, and Linville, Virginia, 2006-2009.

the dreadnought guitar is a Martin HD-28V, the parlor guitar a Joseph Pennell O-CB-'RL'. the electric guitar is a very nice 1980's Ibanez in a double cutaway Les Paul style, and very heavy, with active pickups. the organ is a 1965 Hammond M-101, the accordion a Todeschini; the piano is fake. the mandolin is a mid-range Eastman, the electric bass is very cheap. the harmonica used to be my dad's, i think; i'm not really sure where it came from.

"I Once Loved A Lass" is an old Scottish tune I know from Jansch's band The Pentangle. "Two Sisters" is a traditional British tune; "Peg and Awl" is i think from America, clearly a bit after 1804; "Big Rock Candy Mountain" was written by Harry McClintock and i like John Hartford's reading.

Mark Lane, my old high school chum and bandmate in The Shakes, wrote "Maybe It'll Snow".

the rest are my own. sometimes i tried to write about other people; always I failed and ended up writing more about myself.

i played all the instruments and sang all the vocal parts. Joe Deely provided accomodations.

"I Once Loved a Lass" and "Maybe It'll Snow" were tracked and mixed using Ardour on Ubuntu Linux.
