REVIEWS

What a wonderful surprise!
author: Elizabeth Cannon
My daughter gave me this cd for my birthday, and I have to say it is fantastic! This is the kind of music I really enjoy with the wonderful guitar and mandolin picking, the sweet fiddle, smooth vocals and harmonies, and clever lyrics. The Spiderman Theme makes me laugh everytime. Warning: since it's the last song on the cd it will get stuck in your head! Ridin' Down the Fraser Canyon brings a smile, being an old find. That Ain't the way Bill Played It, My Notso Fred Astaire, Francis the Pig, and Holding Up the Sky are other instant favorites. So are all the other tunes on this cd but it seems silly to list them all. If you enjoy bluegrass, folk, or old-time swing, you'll very likely want this cd to add to your collection.
