Thanks Rick,

It was done hastilly. Mostly a jam. Leo Kottke suggests it was a stimulus for his work although he thought it was "weird".

We purposely left all the rough edges in. Not much if any editing. I heard the version we did of Lord Randall done by a small jazz combo once. Somebody just lifted it and used the arrangement. Didn't get the names.

Pete called the tune he wrote "Singin' in the Country" and then changed it on subsequent recordings to "Livin' in the Country." I think there is another musical notable change as well. On "Livin'" he anticipates the low bass note off the beat which gives it an African feel.

When I was younger, I showed Pete a fingerpicking pattern. One in particular, he learned and wrote "Singin" with. I certainly don't claim to have helped him write "Singin'" though. That's his mighty creativty.

The pattern was 2 1 2 1 T T T T one and two and three and four
