Goin' to Cincinnati Notes
On the evening of June 23, 2014, we all sat in a
circle at Group Effort Studio in Erlanger, KY, and
recorded eleven tracks, most in one take and a few
in two. Each of us played the instruments blamed
on us on the "About these guys" page.
Eric "Catfish" Evans drove the project.
Dan Murphy did the engineering and mastering for
us.
The photo of the Cincinnati waterfront on the
front cover is courtesy of www.cincinnativiews.net
ca. 1920.
The one on the rear cover was taken by Sarah
Johnson in Swinestein's back yard.
Duplication and packaging by QCA.
Five of the songs are in the public domain;
mechanical licenses were obtained for the other
six from Limelight, an affiliate of CD Baby.
