Notes, Greg Segal:

The tracks Bret sent me were very live, clearly a recording of two musicians having fun in the same room. I wanted to keep the sense of humor intact, and try to blend my tracks into the mix as much as possible, so that it sounded like we were all together. I couldn't help but respond with some of my own humor, and the result is that we all had fun doing this. With any luck that will be infectious to the listener.
