From CD Liner Notes:

"What do I sing?" It was a beautiful August morning in Enfield, NH, and I was walking in the woods with my friend Ron. We were talking about my first CD and I was struggling to decide what to record.

"Sing what you know," Ron said. "The first CD is about introducing yourself to the world. The next CD can be about great song cycles and arias. But the first one should be about you."

Sing what you know - in your heart and in your soul. Folk tunes and hymns are born there, live there and here, are sung with everything I have to offer.
