Notes[]

Back in 1998, Julia flew out to California to record tracks for “Roundworm” and “To Touch the Stars”.

While in town, she gave a rare concert at the Palo Alto Unitarian Universalist church. Roughly 80 members of the San Francisco Bay Area filk community attended. The late Jordin Kare served as master of ceremonies.

This 46-minute album captures 9 of her best songs from that event — including a rare live performance of “The Horsetamer’s Daughter”.

You’ll also receive 6 bonus songs that won’t go on Spotify, iTunes, or YouTube: Fellowship Going South, Challenge, I Think Bluegrass Sucks, Ladybug, Ladyhawke!, and The Troll King’s Dream. These are for fans who want the “complete” experience — warts and all.
