"Blue Sky" is an excerpt from the debut concert of Stand Back: A Tribute to the Allman Brothers Band, at Pit & Balcony Theatre, 11/8/08. That group features Loren on Hammond organ, piano, and vocals, Drew Pentkowski and Matt Besey on guitars and vocals, Chris Smith on the bass, and the double drums of Matt Burgie and Mark Dault.
"7 and 4" and "Shoe" were taken from a live recording of the Michigan Monsoon, a groove project featuring Drew Pentkowski on guitar and vocals, Matt Burgie on drums and vocals, Will Jackson on bass, and Loren on clavinet and Fender Rhodes piano.
