"The Sandhill Waltz" is all songs from my days in Kansas City and Minnesota. I lived in Kansas City about 10 years and Minnesota- the Twin Cities, for about 8 years. All the tunes were recorded at my homes- or I should say my apartments, I’ve had over the years- some here in Los Angeles where I am now, using my present home recording system and the rest from back in Kansas City using an old reel-to-reel and a cassette player. I’m using various guitars of mine like my Gibson J-45, J-30, LG-3, LG-2, Martin 2-17, Martin/Sigma and Harmony Sovereign. All the songs were written by me except for "I Can't Lose Her Now", which is a song of my brother Dwight's, and "Wish You Knew" and "Cascade Creek", which were co-written with Dwight, and "In the Sweet By and By"- the traditional with an arrangement by me. For "In the Sweet By and By", I used a Larivee Gutiar that my Dad had at the time and it was recorded at his home in Colorado Springs along with "Cascade Creek". Dwight sings harmony on "The Coyote and the Prairie Dog" and plays a second guitar part on the reprised-second take of "Send Her Back to Me". You can also listen to Dwight performing "I'll Can't Lose Her Now" and "Wish You Knew" here at the website. |
