More than three years in the making, Bardavon Production Manager Stephen LaMarca, who also Executive Produced the CD said, "It was a labor of love that became a major obsession. All the artists participated in choosing the songs and donated their chosen cuts to help the theatre's fund raising efforts. It was a struggle to get it all done in time for the holidays. But at last, here it is and we're already at work on Volume II!" The CD includes artists that performed at the theatre last season like David Crosby, Ian Anderson, and Bruce Hornsby as well as from four seasons ago like Dar Williams and Levon Helm.
