Once the plans for this album were completed; finding old Ukrainian songs, composing some and translating others from English to Ukrainian the practice nights had to be set. After a few get-togethers, the final practice night before the recording session would be at the Woloshyn home. Bill and Mary Woloshyn had their songs ready, son Peter had practiced all the numbers on his bass guitar and was ready for the final rehearsal. Nine year old Shelly Shotropa, who's singing career started at the Holy Ghost Ukrainian Catholic church when she was seven, had previously performed on stage with the Interlake Polka Kings but this would be her first recording. She would have
to go to bed before the others, so her song was forst. For some of the group it was a night out, but for the Woloshyn family it was "An Evening At Home"
