Seated above: Russell Cleveland Sayler III and young number IV.  They sit, watching... and remind us that this label exists to celebrate the joy of making music and artwork.  It's no game, but it doesn't have to be so serious.  We are going to make these things, and when you want to try one out, they will be here waiting.  Our friends want to make sweet sap to seep out from our strange mid-west.  We know that you are also out there, and we are glad.
