Theproposed Homegrown disc would probably feature some familiar, old-timeytunes (such as "Oh Suzanna" and "Polly Wolly Doodle") . . . along withsome new and original MOTHER-lifestyle songs. After the album is released,I would include the written arrangements in this column ( one or two ata time ) , so that you and your friends could join in with the recordingon your tub basses, jugs, kazoos, washboards, mandolins, banjos, guitars. . . or whatever!

In my opinion, there are far too few albumsavailable nowadays with all the good of homemade instruments recorded well. . . let's hope "Homegrown Music" is the first of many more'.
