Following an extremely succesful CD release concert and party for my mom’s new album ‘Beautiful Mystery’ she is being interview on NHPR and her album will be the featured album for the show. I played whistle on several of the tracks, so if you haven’t heard any of my playing you catch a chance.
Those in NH can tune into NHPR at 9 PM Sunday, January 11th to hear my mom on Kate McNally’s folk show. Those outside of NH can listen to the interview and hear her music via live RealAudio stream at http://www.nhpr.org .

Yeah, I’m pretty excited about all this. It’s just such a joy to have my mom, who’s music I have enjoyed from the cradle, finally have a chance to share her music with the rest of the world and to have them enjoy it as well.
One of the coolest things about the concert was that one of the backup vocalists had to bail out so my sister Eliza ended up taking her place and did a wonderful job. Her voice blended with perfectly with my mom’s. It was truly something special to have three family members on stage at once making beautiful music. I hope it is just the beginning of a wonderful journey to come.
Thank you much for all your kind words.

P.S. -Loren, buy the CD, buy the CD, buy the CD, you must buy the CD!!!
Thank you for you kinds comments.
Hmmm… I think a solo album is a long ways off. I’m VERY critical of my own playing, and if I recorded my own album I’d want it to be of the pure-drop traditional sort, not the kind of thing I’ve done on my mom’s album. More likely you’ll be hearing me playing non-trad stuff on a number of New England folk albums in the near future. However, the pure drop is where my heart is, and maybe, just maybe, I’ll put something out in ten years or so.
