<p><font face="Arial"><br />
All tracks were <span style="text-decoration: underline;">unprofessionally</span> recorded in July and December, 2007 using a Superscope PSD340 home CD recorder and either its internal microphone or a Nady SCM900 studio microphone in Tim’s living room or basement. Tim will post better quality recordings when he can get around to it, but is absorbed in writing new original tunes these days (<a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);" href="javascript:void(0);/*1221835911214*/">samples</a>).<br />
</font></p>

<strong>Why “Politically Incorrect”?</strong> While it is all popular music of the past few decades, the music recorded here was never intended to be performed on mandolin, and, in a few cases, involves politically-incorrect topics such as drug use and teenage sexuality. In general, it's all musically, politically, and/or socially incorrect.
