From the liner notes written by the recording engineer about the session:
"01 Library Card
Frank assigned several musicians to improvise spoken interaction. The Pianist, Hermann Kretzschmar, whipped out his library card to use as a text. The distinctive timbre of his voice, the German accent, and the humorous pace of his delivery obviously struck Frank as a vehicle to be developed and utilized. "
