You don't have to trust me on this one...get a copy of "Swanee ~ The Music of Stephen Foster". It was done at Highlands Records, near Los Gatos, CA, I believe. The CD has the two songs back to back. Go to www.joeweed.com to order. While there, check out The Vultures, a priceless collecion of acoustic versions of early 60s instrumentals like "Walk, Don't Run", "Pipeline" and "Alley Cat" with David Grisman, Rob Ickes, Todd Phillips and the late Norton Buffalo. Great stuff. They are NCD-205 and NCD-206.
