# from LPs liner notes: "'The great San Bernardino Birthday Party,' is Fahey' s only programatic piece, composed deliberately during his recuperation. It depicts, comments upon, and celebrates the tragic events, the premonitions of disaster, the ride from Los Angeles to San Bernardino, etc. The final section begins with a tune he learned in Texas from Little Hat Jones called "Bye Bye My Honey Fare Thee Well" (vide. OK. 8815: 'Bye Bye Blues,' [sic] by Jones, recorded in San Antonio, Saturday, June 14, 1930)..."
