Comment:

I was in Arkansas shooting pool at Roger's Rec Hall when Marshall and I decided to grab some beers, go back to his house and make a mix. Some of my friends from out of town were visiting at the time and wanted copies. We spun off five or six tapes. Three years later I was in an independent record store in Colorado walking around while Willie's I gotta get drunk was playing in the background. The next song was Bartender Blues into Kneeling Drunkards Plea. Recognizing the progression of the songs I went to the front and asked the kid behind the counter what we were listening to. He said it was a tape he picked up from a buddy in Oregon who I had never heard of. He said the tape was called "Roger's Rec Hall". The following is what Marshall wrote in the tape sleeves after the song listings for all copies made.

"This tape comprised during the early hours of September 30, 1998 by Marshall and Bryan. Our thanks to Roger's Rec Hall for selling us the ice cold Budweiser and Camel Lights. Without those this tape couldn't have been made."

I never figured out how this tape made it from Arkansas to Oregon to Colorado, but it did.
