Dick Rosmini: arrangements
from Pernell Roberts' liner notes: "Dick, in my opinion, is a talent to be reckoned with. Besides being an extraordinary six- and twelvestring guitarist, banjo player and folk singer, he also writes beautiful songs and adaptations, notably - in this album - Alberta and Mary Ann. Richard, thank you for making this such a rewarding and exciting experience!"
