Cover Notes
Released March 1999

Fourteen years ago, Kevin and I were sitting around the bar at Cavanaugh's in downtown Akron. We were doing what we usually did back then, sing a few tunes and drink a few beers. From that simple beginning came our dream of starting our own group. That was how it all began and the rest is history.

Now, with our first recording (actually our second, but we don't mention the first one), we can share our excitement and love of Irish music with all of you. We hope that the selection of tunes brings to mind fond memories of pubs and festivals. We know they do for us. Take a listen!

You'll hear new arrangements of some of our most loved tunes. We hope you enjoy them.

Special thanks go to our families who accepted our late night practices and gigs. We could not have done it without their support and love. We also want to thank all of our friends, far too many to mention by name, who encouraged and backed us all these years.

Thanks to all of you from the bottom of our hearts!

Paul, Kevin, Jim, J. Ray, and Bob
