Subject: My New CD, just in time for the Holidays
My latest recording project is finally out and about. �Sing to Me, Concertina Boy� - A full CD of concertina songs and tunes, ranging from the ridiculous to the sublime... vintage crooning of some very old popular songs from the late 18th through the mid 20th centuries. These songs share a quirky and charming nostalgia that includes traditional folk, variety, music hall, 2nd Avenue and Hawaiian hapa haole gems. This unexpected mix of amusing songs and tunes is guaranteed to raise a smile and make you want to sing along.

If you attended any of my club appearances in England last month, you heard many of these selections. I like to perform all 17 of these fun songs live with only my own concertina playing to back me up and lead the choruses. �Sing to Me, Concertina Boy� includes a few of these solo renditions, but mostly I�ve asked eight of my favorite musicians to join me on fiddle, viola, mandolin, guitar, ukelele, acoustic bass, trombone, hammered dulcimer, cathedral pipe organ plus saxophones, washboard and jaw harp chorus. It�s a big warm sound.

Get your copy today in time for the holidays. If you want an autograph on yours then email me and I�ll post it on to you ASAP, Paypal preferred. If you want to read the full liner notes, hear samples, buy downloads or pay with a credit card, use this link:
