**********************************************************************Yes- We clearly love what we do and love one another deeply and sincerely. This is the foundation of the genuine and dynamic experience we have, and share with you, on any given night of music-making. We've all been working steady for over 20 years and have been with one another since some past lifetime, it seems. In addition to cover songs, we are currently working out our origanal music and plan to hit the studio to lay down the tracks in October!
********SILENT CITY was written by Patti and reflects her love of people and her yearning to know and understand them. The song, recorded in the living room in it's infant stage on an MP3 player, won THREE COLLEGIATE AWARDS! We're happily working on rockin' it out- which is what we naturally do with any song we play. Enjoy. PEACE!
