Ken: Recorded with a small hand-held Sony cassette recorder on the table in the Red Slipper Lounge. Ricky did not have a mandolin when he moved to Lexington and is playing Frank Godbey's Gibson F2 on this recording. The band had been using pickups on their instruments for a couple of years to overcome bar noise and is still using pickups on this recording.

Frank: In case anyone is curious, it was an old black-top ca.1917 F-2, and I no longer own it... all y'all collectors of Skaggsabelia will have to ask Doug Hutchens where it went... I traded it to him for something else that I no longer own. It's a disease, eh??
