[Notes]
This collection of performances from fun-loving Berkeley, California musicians is a snapshot of the local old time and country scene in the late 1960s. Instigated by Mike Seeger and carried out by the musicians, this album is a piece of community music history, and its copious liner notes are a hoot!
