Comments

"Close family harmonies, reminiscent of the best bluegrass, strong instrumentals and a joyousness throughout make this a good listen."
--Mary DesRosiers, Sing Out!

"Dance Upon The Earth is rooted in tradition, but pointed to the future."
--Eileen Roys, Autoharp Clearinghouse

"For over an hour, their great vocal harmonies stand out in their musical celebration of life, transition, and experience. Some songs will make you laugh and sing. Some are inspiring. This album has range: Instrumentally it presents everything from a cappella thru instrumental. Songs date from the civil war thru this year. Songs to warm your heart or give you chills. But everything is perfectly produced & performed."
--Dan Klarmann, Folkfire

Comments

"As instrumentalists they really shine and their vocals are like icing on a cake, which when put together produces an album of very fine tradtionally based songs . . ."
--Charles Whitmer, The Autoharpaholic

"This is a family album of folk songs, written songs, silly songs, story songs, sad songs, and dance tunes. . . There's good feeling here, jollity, and spirit.
The combination of piano accordion, mandolin, and autoharp make fine accompaniments to singing; the strength of this tape is in its mixture of instruments and moods, of traditional and written songs.
. . .it's clear that they enjoy playing and singing, and that enjoyment is pleasing to hear."
--Molly Tenenbaum, The Old Time Herald

Comments

"Paul and Win's latest recording blends traditional and contemporary folk music in a thoroughly delightful style that oozes sincerity. Win exhibits her talents on the autoharp and accordion, while Paul seems equally at home on the guitar, fiddle, and mandolin.
Fifty Miles Of Elbow Room is laden with talent and well worth the listening."
--Ivan Stiles, The Autoharpaholic

"Fifty Miles Of Elbow Room has a very bright, eye-catching cover and excellent photographs on the back. Liner notes are provided, sound is excellent, and, most important of all, some great music is heard. The mixture of old and new is just right, evidently a great deal of thought has gone into the making of this record."
--W.K. McNeil, The Ozarks Mountaineer

A Place In The Choir

SONGS: My Old House Waltz--Wild Rose Of The Mountain / Ruby / Nellie Grey / Ballydesmond Polka / The Ash Grove--The Little Girl Dressed In Blue / A Place In The Choir / Long Lost Lover Blues / When The Rain Comes Down / The Rivers Of Texas / Red Wing--Cherokee Shuffle / Diamond Joe--Cotton-Eyed Joe

Comments

"A Place In The Choir offers a wide-ranging sampler of traditional and folk-oriented instrumentals and songs, skillfully performed and well recorded and packaged.
. . .The melodic introduction to "The Ash Grove" also showcases Win's autoharp style, accompanied by the tasteful mandolin playing of Paul, whose guitar, fiddle, and mandolin shine throughout the album. Win also plays the keyboard accordion on several tunes providing a richly-textured blend of sounds. . .
As the Bill Staines title tune "A Place In The Choir" suggests, listening to this album might just impel one to 'clap their hands, or paws, or anything they got!'"
--Michael King, The Autoharpaholic
