Notes
- I had the foresight in 2005 to try to take some of the songs I mixed on 24 track tape and dump them to a digital format. I figured at one point in the future I could maybe re-mix these pieces and make them sound a little more contemporary. In 2014, 24 track machines are hard to come by so, my intuition paid off. Here is one of those remixed songs recorded originally in 1990. That first mix is on the CD "Life Here...It's Anybody's Guess". This new one features the voice more upfront and an actual bass track that mix one was kind of missing. Mix one however was remastered by Bob Ball many years ago and yes, he managed to get a bigger sound stage that I could not replicate. On the bright side, this re-mix did allowed me to get the talented Rufolo brothers to have fun and put their musical stamp on it. For that I am grateful. Check out their music on bandcamp : The Brothers Nylon or Ranikade3.
- Smokey Lee Webster Wrestles Wid "IT" is clearly the most accessible song I've ever recorded and since it's kind of Sci-Fi I figured it fit right along here on this EP. The horror on one of my housemates face as she came down to the studio while I was diligently mixing this piece was priceless. She wanted me committed. After being in the music biz for twenty eight years with no real commercial success, perhaps she was right!

Nice Gentle Giant ending! Interestingly enough my roommate is downstairs (it's a very musical house) listening to Free Hand as I was listening to this.
This song is about http://oldrhinebeck.org which is located a stone's throw from Bard College.
