Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.
"This album introduces the unique composing and performing talents of Russ Freeman who, at the age of 25, is a truly gifted musician. In addition to performing all electric and classical guitars, Russ obtains a variety of sounds from his Roland GR-700 Guitar Synthesizer, which is midied to Yamaha digital synthesizers. The sounds used on this album include flutes, horns, bass, voices, acoustic piano, and harmonica, all emanating from his guitar."
Special Thanks to Denny Robinson, John Balbuena, and John Pell.
Recorded November 18-December 3, 1985, at Juniper Recording Studio, Burbank, California.
"Polo In The Palisades" is dedicated to my mother, Jacklyn Freeman, with love.
