Album Notes

Holly Williams plays the hammered dulcimer and has performed traditional music for over 20 years and plays regularly for contra dances and weddings in the Denver area. Holly produced her own instrumental and vocal recording "Notes From Home" in 1990 for which she did all the arrangements. John (Jake) Jacobs plays the cittern, guitar, and bass helped form the Bermuda Folk Music club in the sixties, performed on two albums with the folk group Cornucopia in Maryland in the eighties, and has been playing music ever since. He has been performing with Holly for seven years in Colorado. Holly and Jake produced a Celtic album "Tried and True," in 1998 and had three subsequent albums including "Dancing Down the Moon," in 1999, a Celtic Christmas album,"Turning of the Year," in 2000, and a Celtic album " Celtic Gold" in 2002.
