The Important Fine Print:

    Performed, recorded and mixed by Tim Knuth (with robot assistance) in his Secret Electrical Music Cave.  Mastered by Mike Hegler at King Size Sound Labs, Chicago, IL.  Design by Robot Tim.
    All songs © 2009 by Tim Knuth except “Think About Your Troubles”, words and music by Harry Nilsson, © 1969 Golden Syrup Music (BMI) administered by Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp. Drum pattern and talking on “Little Robot” is from “The Rhythm Modulator”, by the amazing and forward-thinking Raymond Scott and available on the album “Manhattan Research Inc.” It appears here through the generosity of the Raymond Scott Archive. “Anna-Lee” borrows heavily from Mississippi John Hurt’s magical 1928 recording of the traditional song “Stack-o-lee”.

Some Thank Yous
    This record would not have been possible without the help, encouragement and inspiration of my lovely, patient, and sensible wife Liz, my son, chief critic, and playmate Simon, and the rest of my intrepid network of family and friends, especially career counselor Britt Tate Beaugard, field-tester Keri Tate and of course my own dear Mom on the telephone. Thanks are also due to John Abbey, Little Miss Ann, Sandy Lucas, Laura Doherty, and all my talented colleagues at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago.
      Finally, extra-big hugs to the “best class ever”(you know who you are), and to all the amazing kids and their grown-ups who keep my job so entertaining.
     
            Thanks,
                      Tim x 2
