The
titles presented on this disc are improvisations based on conversations
between the musicians. Each piece strives to achieve a structural
and conceptual resemblance to the subject discussed. Songwriting
credit goes to the individual who instigated the conversation. When
two names appear, both parties were equally responsible for musical/thematic
material; the name which appears first is the person who gave the
piece its title. Gingrich has appeared in concert performances under
several titles, but none were appropriate for printing, so we decided
to reduce to the smallest possible labeling. All of the performances
are first takes, although Spunky was the 2nd take of Spunk (we liked
both of them); there were no overdubs.

Any
images or hallucinations conjured up by the music expresssed, or
