Live at the Squat and Stitch

Recording
The album was the first produced of the Free-Form Jazz Band. Linda Flynn and her husband Lawrence Fletcher (who would record the album) were planning on taking their kids to famous Cirque de Lune in their town, but the cirque was canceled. Linda then had her husband record the session.

The band started the live recording by introducing themselves, with Linda stating to "hold onto those knitting needles." The band then went onto play several smooth jazz beats, composing each track. As they recorded, Linda's daughter, Candace Flynn, continued to call her mother complaining about her brother's new cirque. This did not throw off the recording, as Linda simply rushed through it and hung up.

But after many recording sessions, Candace barged onto stage, having an allergic reaction to wild parsnips causing her skin to be blotchy and her voice to be deep. She tried to convince her mom to come and see the boys, but fell into song, venting her feelings into blues. This song (entitled E.V.I.L.B.O.Y.S) became the highlight of the album. The band finished it shortly afterward, and Lawrence burned several CD's for the album, giving one to each member. ("Jerk De Soleil")

Reception
While it is unknown if the album was released on a larger scale then between selected friends of the band, the album still received success. Jeremy Johnson praised the song E.V.I.L.B.O.Y.S., asking Candace how she did the song and marveling at it's appeal. ("Jerk De Soleil")
