Produced by The Fence Sitters, Jeremiah Ball, Allan Gill (and Barbara Kay on Blue Hawaii World. Recorded "live" in studio on January 3 and 4, 1998.
Eric Roach and Chip Tait had been talking about starting a band, and we put together a collection of friends to play at a Texas Brewers Festival. We called that band The Fence Cutters (after a line from Edward Abbey), and it had folks from Lovejoy’s (Mike Jasper and Alex Crump) and from my high school crew (Kurt Huffman and Shelly Leuzinger) and it was pretty fun.
Oliver Franklin asked us to play at a museum event for the DRT. We said sure, lost Alex and Mike, added Denman Shelton, and renamed the collective The Fence Sitters. The next thing we know we were on John Aielli’s show and he loved us, so we decided to make a record. We gathered Dave Sugeno and Tim Ziegler, went to Allan Gill’s studio with Jeremiah Ball and made a record of our songs (and a couple from our friend John Howard).
