Producer's Notes

My sincere best wishes to my good friend at the Commission On The Bicentennial Of The United States Constitution, George Taylor. He aided me in guiding this program through miles of red tape in a completely professional and courteous manner. His help is more than appreciated.

Also, thanks to Lou Robin. Lou went out of his way for us, and we'll always be eternally grateful. He's been a great friend and a first-class human being, as always!

We at Folk Era Productions and all the artists who have contributed their talents to this historic project are very proud to have been chosen to represent this great document and celebration all over the world in music. There is no greater written work than our Constitution, for it has stood both the tests of time and adversity. People have flocked to this great country because of the promises found within its framework. Everyone who has worked on this album wishes to dedicate it to those who have given their lives over the past two centuries so that we might be free to record and present this album, and you might be free to enjoy it.
