Liner notes
“ It was on a Tuesday evening in April that PAUL MENARD dropped into The Cycle Ranch to discuss one of our favourite subjects — Bikes !

We have known Paul for quite a few years and have seen him perform many times, both in Night Clubs and on National Television, so talk naturally drifted around to another mutual love — Country Music.

Before too long the idea of having a live recording session right at our shop evolved and everyone was excited by the possibility. How often do you get the chance of sitting right in the front row centre at a recording session of one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, Country Music Fiddler!

When we are turned on by an idea, none of us fool around, so the session was slated for Saturday of the same week. Paul and the boys arrived bright and early with Fiddle, Guitars, Banjos, Drums and all the paraphenalia that goes into taping a session.

Before too long everything was in high gear and the citizens of Pierrefonds were being treated to music country style by some of the tops in the business. In between the foot stomping, we were able to get in the act creating the other kind of music you hear on this record — the sounds of a 650 c.c. BSA Firebird Scrambler and a Bridgestone 350 GTR.

We all thoroughly enjoyed our day and hope you will too, through this recording. Who knows, this may be the first of many to follow ! ”
