Dave Godbey on Conn house organ, Rick Benson on Gretsch Chet Atkins hollow-body guitar - "The Great Pumpkin" - and Dave Perl on amped and distorted Yamaha FG160 acoustic guitar. Tracks ripped from original Sony LNX 60 cassette tape, rematered and remixed by Dave Perl using Nero Ultra software.

** Track 9: recorded by the Funky Ass White Boys somewhere, sometime in Mansfield OH 2004 (I think). Thanks to Dave Godbey and the rest of the band for sharing the nams with me. Sorry I don't recall what you named the tune. Note 2010: the band is actually an early incarnation of The Deathrays of Mansfield OH. I was confused back in the day!
