about

This is the final album I recorded with Mr Tater, and the only album we ever made together that was recorded in a more typical way, with a day set aside and a set group of musicians dedicated to recording an album with him. The album art is by Brad Porter, a great local drummer and friend of Tater's. I was very surprised and pleased by the cover he designed, inspired by the title. I like how Mr Tater seems friendly and kind in the drawing, which he really was in real life. Bill Abel played string instruments, and Mary Jane (who can be heard saying "Okay" at the beginning of her tribute song) brightened the recording session with her spirit. Multi-instrumentalist Paul Morelli played wind instruments, and I monkeyed around as usual. This album's cover folded out to be a poster, and included a DVD of the great "Music Maker" documentary, which you can now view online at vimeo.com/12082050
