A bit of news about these two, whom I see folks post about periodicallly. Cindy just released a new CD called Cat Tales (I always want to type Tails). It is, as is obvious, all songs about cats. It was released in November, in time for the holiday season, and quite a few people solved a lot of gift giving problems with that one CD. Songs include some originals, including a hysterical song called Rudy's Great Adventure that tells the story of the cat that got its head stuck in a garbage disposal (and lived to tell, er ... meow ... about it), plus songs from Cheryl Wheeler, Buddy Mondlock, Les Barker, Nancy White, Grant Livingston, The Berrymans and others.

And, to top it off, Steve and Cindy have just completed work on a new duet album, which should be available shortly. All of their CDs (and books) can now be purchased from the online store on their web site, which also has the duo, trio and quartet CDs they recorded with others.
