Glad you enjoyed our photo! I'm afraid we're not organized enough to have recorded a CD. Gary Breitbard, the fellow holding the hurdy gurdy, is a wonderful musician and ha been playing music since he was 5 (now about 77), but isn't patient enough to go into a studio. Perhaps we should try for doing a "live" CD. I think he could handle that.
Meanwhile, here are a couple of Youtube videos that include some or ,all of us:
-- 1) This has the 4 of us in a row--Alan on pipes, Jena on white accordion, Me in the shadows on mountain dulcimer, and Gary on black accordion--plus a number of friends at a regular French session in a big old Victorian house San Francisco, Unfortunately, it's VERY dark cause it was a very dark and stormy winter day. The tunes are: "Bourree du Cusset" and "Deriere Chez Nous" (behind our house).
-- 2) This is Jena and I playing a lovely Parisian waltz (called a "bal musette"). The tune is: "Petit Bal de la Marine" (Little Dance of the Sailor).
