about

Mark and I have played together as a duo since 1993 and we're still at it today. Mark is, of course, a world class harmonica wizard, a humorous songwriter without peer, a tuneful clarinet blower, and all round swell guy. We've had a lot of fun over the years playing music, writing songs together, traveling the hi ways and byways, festivals and concert halls, and meeting music lovers far and wide. We've made three CDs of our mongrel musings during this time period.

This is a collection of tracks on which I'm doing the lead vocals and some instrumentals we recorded. I've gathered them here to help complete the personal discography I'm assembling here at BandCamp.

If you want to get the full original albums, they're here on BandCamp, too.If you want to know more about what The Kings of Mongrel Folk™ (that's us) are doing, go here...
