There are two members of Dogwatch on the tape, Gary Keep and Roger Bramble, but the musicians, 19 in all, were brought together from different groups along with some solo performers, and a significant number of non-performers who have been associated with the living history program and monthly chantey sing. It's pretty rough around the edges, recorded after one rehearsal but it has a spark that is difficult to produce in a studio. Revell Carr, who led the chantey sings at that time, produced it several months before he left the Park for graduate studies.
