We are very happy to announce that we are finally have a CD!
Thanks so much to all who have encouraged us to get one together.

This will take you to a web page there has additional information plus a number of additional sound samples.


Front of the CD As you can see, it is titled "Scratching the Surface". The title is a reference to the fact that this only a sampling of our very extensive repertoire of tunes, and also is a whimsical allusion to the sound of the fiddle bow on the strings.

The tunes are a diverse mixture of dance medleys, waltzes, old-time set pieces from the early days of recording, various printed sources, and recent compositions by musicians such as Calvin Vollrath, Carl Jones, Amy Cann, Alasdair Fraser, and Kenny Sidle. Of course, liner notes describing each piece are included.
