From the Liner Notes:
In early 2012, Caleb Smith invited Laura Baird and me to perform live to Buster Keaton's silent film classic, Steamboat Bill Jr., at the Ned Smith Center for Nature and Art in Millersburg, Pennsylvania. This piece was played under the opening scene, as King's fancy new riverboat ("a floating palace") comes tooling around a bend in the river. I love Laura's clawhammer banjo playing and was chuffed (as they say) when she agreed to accompany me on this track.
