They sing wonderful harmonies and solos, and Dave plays the concertina, he's written a number of very good traditional sounding tunes, and they perform other folks similar songs as well. Lovely people, salt of the earth. Think their best known song is the one Dave wrote, Lady of Autumn. But check the list at the top of this thread for a selection of the things they do. I catch them every time they come to Portland OR, and am never sorry.
I think, though, that now that Annie's had some surgery, her nose no longer sounds Bb whenever she honks or sneezes. Was the most amazing whistle before. They joke on stage -- she blows her nose and Dave scans the rafters for the bird or insect life that has gotten into the concert hall.
I love their version of "Wind into the Wood", the bowsprit carver's song, their version of "Old King Coal", "When We Go Rolling Home", "Sweet Thyme" and, and, and...
Don't miss them!
Blessings,
Barbara
