One of the things I like best about writing songs is recording them. This album and all the
circumsatnces behind the last few days of mixing were a peculiar time for me. Actually, any of my friends will tell you everything
is peculiar with me. Politicus was a fun project. I sat on the drum and piano tracks for 7 months. Right before David Vaughan
left for London, England he came over to Whitneyville Recording. With the help of recording master, Bob Rubin, we were able
to catch some good sounds. I started recording the rest, which wasn't much; up-right bass, elec. bass & guitar and
vocals...of course. Dave Cavage came for a session one night and layed down banjo on two tracks. I hope you enjoy this new
one. It gives me great pride to present another cd.

On Saturday, October 20, 2001, Nick Ippoliti and the Travelin Machine had the honor to open for the lengendary, ASCAP
Lifetime Achievement Award Winner & Grammy Nominee... Dave Van Ronk. To have been a part of the second to the last show performed by Dave Van Ronk gives me chills. I only had a brief conversation with Dave. He actually walked away from the show with not only a copy of
Tramp Art but an original computer print as well, a print of his choice...Amsterdam!!!
