 This is a recording of traditional dance tunes and songs, along with a few I've written. I sing and play guitar, mandolin and octave mandolin on it.

A cast of amazing musicians joined me: Peter Barnes (flute), Brad Hill (hand drum), Andrea Hoag (fiddle) Stuart Kenney (bass), Bob Pasquarello (piano), Charlie Pilzer (bass, piano), Bob Stein (accordion).

After opening with a pop send-up of a fiddle tune, the album settles into traditional songs and dance tunes with innovative guitar and mandolin backup. The stew of tunes and songs from Ireland, England, Sweden and the Southern US finishes with an unexpectedly slow, sweet version of the American classic, Cotton-Eyed Joe.
