The selection of cassettes in my travel collection rotates, but I NEVER leave for a long road trip without:

Kerry Elkin's "Soir et Matin". Kerry is a wonderful New England fiddler, backed by some of New England's best (like Peter Barnes), playing a wide variety of tunes, including the breathtakingly beautiful title waltz. (In his "real" life, Kerry is a cranberry farmer.)

Ed Miller's "Edinburgh Rambler" (good choice Liam!)

Two volumes of Folk Legacy's "New Golden Ring". Wonderful chorus songs to sing along with when the road is long.

The current incarnation of "Kathy's Comfort Tape," a compilation of favorite songs and tunes by people whose singing/music makes me feel especially good.I create about one a year. The August 1999 version is a 90-minute tape that includes selections from Kate Wolf, Bill Staines, Jay Ungar/Molly Mason, Gordon Bok, Joe Hickerson, and Karan Casey, among others.

Have a great trip! Kath
