Claire,

I personally think liner notes are usually superfluous, and would rather have lyrics included -- especially if you've got original songs on the CD. On the other hand, if they're all recognizable traditional tunes, most folks already know the lyrics, and then I would probably prefer a new bit of trivia about the song or your rendition of it. But I always want to know who played what instrument on the cuts. That's how I fell in love with A. Barty -- listening to "Two for the Early Dew" with Makem and Clancy. (He's probably four-foot-two and has a hunch, but oh, that mandolin!)
