The titles presented on this disc are improvisations based
on conversations between the musicians. Each piece strives
to achieve a structural and conceptual resemblance to the
subject discussed. Songwriting credit goes to the individual
who instigated the conversation. When two names appear, both
parties were equally responsible for musical/thematic material;
the name which appears first is the person who gave the piece
its title. Gingrich has appeared in concert performances
under several titles, but none were appropriate for printing,
so we decided to reduce to the smallest possible labeling.
All of the performances are first takes, although Spunky
was the 2nd take of Spunk (we liked both of them); there
were no overdubs.

Any images or hallucinations conjured up by the music
expresssed, or by the title references, is purely intentionally
coincidental.
