All The Hits

Three Christmas cover versions, all in a jaunty 3/4 time signature.   The originals - by Thompson Twins, Talk Talk, and Shania Twain - are all peerless pop songs, and we hope they don't mind the folk waltz treatment.......

Three Time

Recorded in New York 2011-2013, this was our first album.   You've heard them all before, but perhaps not in this original order........
