THIS ALBUM WAS RECORDED IN AUGUST 2004 DURING A HEAT WAVE in front of a live, patient audience over two nights in lovely Bellows Falls, VT at the Windham, a hotel closed since the '80s except for its small club. The idea was more "album recorded live" than "live album"; there were some stops and starts, multiple takes, endless tunings, a lot of sweating and a little swearing. Every couple of songs, the whole roomful of us would pour out onto the street to let our clothes dry and to breathe some new air. We were all pretty familiar by the end of the weekend. Recording can be tedious and shows nerve-wracking; this was neither. It was a blast, and I loved every second. Thank you Rich, Joan, Joe and Arthur for your amazing talents and for bringing these songs life. And thank you Dean for your music, creative energy and everything everything. And thank you Gary for always making it happen, and always making it fun. And Brian, for your smart ears and great sounds. And from my heart, I thank all of the people who came so far, driving and flying, to be part of this recording.

Peace,

Tanya

PS. In the interests of full disclosure, there are a few exceptions to the live thing: I added back-ups to both Littlewing and N.E., and Bill and I re-sang the chorus to River Girls. Otherwise, what you hear is what you heard if you were there.
