LINER NOTES:

Got myself free back in ’73 with a Martin guitar and a melody… the opening line of Migration is where the early chapters of my music odyssey began; playing in front rooms, back yards, and several rather amazing Denver coffee houses. The songwriters and artists who made music there are forever woven into the fabric of my musical existence. By 1976, when I launched Front Room Music, my song catalogue had grown exponentially and my recording of No Resistance was gracing the FM radio airwaves.

To help celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Front Room Music, I recently took my nylon-string Taylor guitar into the studio and recorded this batch of songs, many from the coffee house days. This recording was made sweeter by using the precious gift of a vintage 1950s RCA 77-DX microphone that belonged to my late friend Jim Withers. Special thanks to Stori Lynn Hybbeneth, who trusted the old mic to my care. I think Mr. Withers would smile, knowing how the wheel of inspiration continues to turn.

Jim
