Mary, got your CD in the mail today. It's beautifully packaged and well-made, and has good liner notes covering details of the songs included.

Out of curiosity, the CD is credited to "M. Garvey and Friends" -- who are the friends? Presumably, they're the secondary artists listed after each song, but I was curious if that was just singing credits or also instrumentation. Feel free to PM me or email if you/they would rather be anonymous, but there's some great musicianship and singing on there.

Here's a tracklist:
