Do You Remember
This tune has been kicking around for many years without a decent lyric. We were finally able to finish recording this tune with some previous instrumental tracks plus a new lyric sung by our friend John Whitbread from the band Helderberg Hot Club. The fantastic harmonica solo is from Randy Mauger. This is a bitter/sweet tribute to loss and remembrance.
Mark Bagdon - Fiddle
Randy Mauger - Harmonica
Dave Rhodes - Composer, Acoustic Guitar, bass
Mark Smith - Acoustic and Electric Guitars
John Whitbread - Vocal
Take Me Home
This tune was inspired by Dave's volunteer work at the Red Cross. It starts with a fire victim in church trying to come to terms with his situation.
Mark Bagdon - fiddle
Rob Cenci - Guest Drummer
Nelson Gage - mandolin
Dave Rhodes - composer, guitars, bass
Chris Schultz - banjo
Steve Smith - vocal
Summer Song - Alt. Version
A slow version of Summer Song appears on our Common Ground album. We like this upbeat version that we created with some unused tracks from the original recording plus additional instrumentation -featuring Mark Bagdon on dueling fiddles.

When I Was in Love
Before his untimely death in 2022, our lead singer and guitarist, Mark Smith, went into a studio and recorded some demos of tunes he wrote and wanted the band to record. Unfortunately, that never happened. But the demos live on. Here is one of those demos exactly as Mark played it with just him and his guitar - in one take.
