Liner Notes:
The twang of Jack Crossan's harpsichord reverberated against the hard walls of the gym at Chino penitentiary, as the audience of entertainment-starved prisoners listened with amazement and the alert guards standing along the walls eyed their charges. Crossan was playing the Lennon-McCartney "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da", undoubtedly the first man in creation to grace (or disgrace?) the ancient instrument with such fare. It was also probably the first time anybody had conceived of entertaining a group of modern felons with such unlikely relics of the baroque as a harpsichord and clavichord, combined with celeste and piano.

Crossan has been rapidly building a successful concert career based n his unorthodox approach to music. His programs consist of an outlandish musical melange concocted to shatter the neat traditions that have restricted classical music to overheated salons and drafty concert halls. The trip to Chino was meant to emphasize his break with tradition and to bring classical music, as well as pop music performed in a classical style to people who might want to hear it, wherever they may unfortunately be.

To preclude incidents at the minimum-security prison, outside entertainment has been severely restricted. Crossan and his small entourage were required to submit their names well in advance of the concert so that the authorities could make certain that none of them had criminal records or were otherwise unacceptable. The jailers' sensitivity to the mounting criticism of prison administration in the state was evident from the difficulty Crossan had in getting recording
