Liner Notes: Believing that all things -- past and present, east and west, happy and sad, country and western -- exist simultaneously, we offer this pie plate, atom, DNA strand, CD, that contains Tim and Darrell's world. Partial list of contents: two halves of heart-shaped sandwiches (chicken curry with grapes), some sand from a beach trip, love lost and found, Kenny Malone, a slide whistle, a kazoo, two families, five rooms. Sorry, there ain't no easy way.
We sat across from each other and played these songs in real time in Darrell's living room, living there for a week in November, 1999. The sun shone, leaves fell, one day there was rain. Tim got there before ten, left before dinner time.
Take care of yourselves and don't eat anything blue.

This is the first mandolin I ever owned, and the one I still always play. It was made by Mike Kemnitzer in 1975, in return for helping him move, a fist full of ones, and a ham at Christmas. They cost a lot more now. The neck is big as a ball bat, and it's wide across the finger board. The one piece curly maple back comes from a leftover board from an old barn in southern Ohio. Nugget (Mike's nickname) calls his instruments Nuggets. You can see more Nugget mandos at www.mandolincafe.com.
