We recorded this CD at Peter Nelson's studio in Mindemoya, Ontario. Many thanks for his kindness, patience, encouragement, know-how, and hard work!
Thanks to Peter Gordon for lending us the 12-string! And I am playing a beautiful, hand-crafted harp from Stanley and Stanley of Kingston, Ontario. See their harps at stanleyharp.on.ca
