Quandary by Oliah Fall

This album was recorded in the bathroom of my apartment, on my friend Sky's 4-track, in December 2005. The album was mastered by Andrew Luckless of Luckless-Studio in Belfast, Maine. Sky and my other friend Tim accompanied me on "Gender-Rebel" and "Knock it Down." Sky was the hand-clapping/door-knocker, who got so enthusiastic about knocking, that his knuckles started to bleed after a few takes. Tim played an odd assortment of drums he brought over and also played banjo for "the love we left in Madison." These two are an invaluable part of this project. Thank you Tim & Sky so very much. Also, innumerable thanks to Andrew for making time to produce this album on the side of being a full-time father to baby Rex (named after T. Rex--the glam-rock band). Andrew also did the jaw harp for "the Toad in the Road." Thank you Jordan for helping me burn cds and all your support.

Thank you to my mother, to whom I dedicate this album, for being strong through serious hardships. and thank you to my father for his love of music, and for giving me his banjo. Thank to all my family, and friends, and comrades for your encouragement, inspiration, etc.

Please help out in the struggle for a socially wise and healthy world, in which we relate to one another and the earth in more sincere, conscious, and ultimately symbiotic ways.
