BUCKDANCER’S CHOICE TRIVIA:

This CD features the arrival of second percussionist Brian Rice. “Playing in the Band” was the first track the band recorded live, heralding the way for the live techniques used four years later for the third CD. Danny has passed the guitar baton on to Sylvia.

WTD never performed this recorded version of “Playing in the Band” live. It’s always used as a shell to wrap around other additional tunes, songs, and ramblings including “Boll Weevil,” “Mr. Charlie”, “Dire Wolf,” “Werewolves of London,” and assorted Spanish bagpipe raves.

The Celestial Choir singing the chorus on “Ripple” includes Maureen, Cindy, Sylvia and Paul, as well as Sylvia’s husband Chuck Ervin, Danny’s wife Saundra Wane, and our good buddy Shira Kammen.
