Re: Simple Gifts"
The liner notes by Jim Moran state: “These tracks have been rescued after a half century from the near oblivion of analog tape by the outstanding digital remastering team at Sweetwater Studios under the watchful direction of Jeff McDonald, a lifelong Bob Shane fan and musician himself...Noted engineer and producer Ron Furmanek then lovingly supplied his pristine mixes of “Weepaing Analeah’, ‘Simple Gifts’, ‘Less of Me’ and ‘Pupu A’O Ewa’.” So that sounds like these were remixed and mastered from the original tapes, possibly. Or maybe the Ron Furmanek work was already done and just languishing waiting for this project. But one curiosity is the credit: “Special Thanks: To Allan Shaw for supplying the two Decca 45’s...”. No explanation as to what tunes were on those 45’s and no indication as to whether these two 45’s were the source for those songs for this project. I may quiz Bobbie about those points.
