Notes

This album was recorded live, without overdubs, direct to two-track.

David Grisman's liner notes are;

Rob Wasserman's solo bass is a unique new voice in the world of acoustic string music. Rob's "songs" have delighted our audiences for several years now, and the remarkable ways in which he combines melody, harmony, and rhythm never cease to amaze. These first recordings are a landmark for both Rob and the bass. For the rest of us, a lot of enjoyable listening.
