1. Ben Krakauer & Pete Frostic - Wide Open (04:47)
   (Krakauer) The opening themes for this song are based on the open tunings of banjo, guitar, and mandolin.
2. Ben Krakauer & Pete Frostic - Playtime (02:42)
   (Krakauer) This is just a fun tune to play, written for its groove.
3. Ben Krakauer & Pete Frostic - Cala's Pond (03:40)
   (Frostic) I wrote the second of these jigs next to a little pond in Rhode Island that is bordered with green and then again by the ocean.
4. Ben Krakauer & Pete Frostic - 8 String Fiddle Swing (02:57)
   (Frostic) This tune was originally written for a contest I never entered.

6. Ben Krakauer & Pete Frostic - Binda's Run (04:03)

8. Ben Krakauer & Pete Frostic - #35 (03:31)
   (Frostic) I really can't say what this is, it seems to have two moods. I wrote the second part on the beach in North Carolina after a storm. I don't remember writing the first half.

    (Krakauer) There is one where I live.
