Notes from Ross Nickerson I recorded the CD in a session in March, 2009 with members one of the best bluegrass bands in the world and certainly one of my favorites, Blue Highway. I went to Nashville and finished recording and mixing in May. I was very happy to be able to complete the project so quickly. Sometimes the recording is the easy part, My last CD, the artwork for the insert and other loose ends took longer than recording. Art work for the CD insert can be very time consuming (and not any where near as much fun as recording) so I'm relieved that we completed it and its ready to listen to within a few months of laying down the tracks. I hope you like it, there are sound clips below. In keeping with my comittment to helping others learn to play banjo I'll be releasing a tablature booklet of the songs on the CD next year.
