Subject: RE: Mudcatter Peg is a VERY fine singer!
whoa, everyone! A gal's head can get to spinning! Thanks for all the kind words.

First Larry, thank you! And I absolutely would love to record with your co-op...

Micca: I have not forgotten you! With the eviction and moving these last couple of months I have simply been too discombobulated. Sorry--I will send you a CD TODAY, friend. (Maybe it will help pass the time while your knee heals, poor sod!) BTW my June trip just ain't gonna happen but I am looking into coming in late July/August. Will you and Aud be about?

The rest of youse:

I only really have two CDs: one is a demo recorded with my most recent trio (since disbanded) called Brigid's Brood. I sing on 3 or 4 tracks. Anyone who wants a copy, let me know and I can send you one free (copied on a CD burner). All traditional tunes, "our own arrangements" based on recordings by Triona ni Dhomnail, Steelyeye Span, etc.

I also recorded a full-length CD with the group Urban Myth several years ago. Some originals, some world-beat, some Celtic. One lovely song with just me and piano, set to Yeats' poem "The Song of Wandering Aengus." Also includes my arrangement of John Barleycorn. I am not completely happy with this CD as some of the mixing (and hence, my singing) is not as well done as I might have hoped. But it's pretty nice in most respects (recorded at Blue Jay Studios in Carlisle, MA).

I only have 3 or 4 of these left and am thinking of getting a friend to burn me some copies that only contain the songs I sing on, to give to people who want one.

This is a fitting opportunity to announce I am actively seeking musicians to help me put a CD of traditional music together; and perhaps to do this at Larry's studio in NYC! (I hope Larry will agree to play, too).

Love,

Peg
