While the notes on the disc sleeve indicate that Dave Swett played fiddle on "Waltz of the Bells," it is not apparent from the recordings that this is a fiddle tune. Also, the recording on Side B are noted as made in Lebanon, New Hampshire. It is not clear from Linscott's notes on disc sleeves if there is one Dave Swett or two--there was a David Swett who lived in Framingham, Massachusetts, and a David Swett who lived in Lebanon, New Hampshire.
