"This CD was recorded during the last two months of 2001 with the help of my good friend John Guadagni. The songs deal with questions of the heart which we all deal with during our short time on this planet. Virginia was written about an experience in Kennebunk in the Autumn of 2000. Barbwire, Weekend, Tonight, and Everyday were written about a woman that I knew in Rhode Island in 2001. All Alone was written about a relationship that seems like a life time ago. So Deep was written about my father who died on October 27, 2001."

"The recording was completed on a Tascam 244 using CoolEdit 96 to produce eight tracks from a four track. The instruments used were a Guild G37BL acoustic guitar, a Fender Stratocaster, a Tokai Fretless Bass, an Ibanez Fretted Bass, and a hybrid assortment of acoustic & electric drums. Don't attempt this feat without a net, it's not for the those lacking patience. All performances were live without the use of midi sequencing."

All songs were produced, recorded, and written by John Spreier. Acoustic guitar, bass guitar, electric guitar, and vocals by John Spreier. Drums by John Guadagni. Beta Brunette is John Guadagni and John Spreier.
