The pleasures of community radio

I found this lovely record down in the stacks at our local community radio station. Some great fiddling on here.
The liner notes are extensive - two sets of track notes, one by Carty and one by Don Meade (including citations for the tunes in various tunebooks), as well as short pieces of text by two other writers. If you're the sort who likes to read about the tunes, you get an extra bonus here.

Last Night's Fun.

In my opinion, one of the most important releases of the last century.

Yes, i just got this CD, after i found out it's one of the most important releases of the last century. :-)
Very nice, "crunchy" music. It's amazing that this guy is mainly a banjo player!
