"The Sandhill Waltz" is all songs from my days in Kansas City and Minnesota. I lived
in Kansas City about 10 years and Minnesota- the Twin Cities, for about 8 years. All
the tunes were recorded at my homes- or I should say my apartments, I’ve had over
the years- some here in Los Angeles where I am now, using my present home recording
system and the rest from back in Kansas City using an old reel-to-reel and a cassette
player. I’m using various guitars of mine like my Gibson J-45, J-30, LG-3, LG-2,
Martin 2-17, Martin/Sigma and Harmony Sovereign. All the songs were written by me
except for "Dina’s Song (the love’s enough for now)", which is a song of my brother
Dwight's, and "Wish You Knew" and "Cascade Creek", which were co-written with
Dwight, and "In the Sweet By and By"- the traditional with an arrangement by me.
For "In the Sweet By and By", I used a Larivee Gutiar that my Dad had at the time
and it was recorded at his home in Colorado Springs along with "Cascade Creek".
Dwight sings harmony on "The Coyote and the Prairie Dog" and plays a second
guitar part on the reprised-second take of "Send Her Back to Me". You can also listen
to Dwight performing "I'll Can't Lose Her Now" and "Wish You Knew" here at the website.
