notes: 'I decided to use the cool weather this June to record some folk songs on the
  bouzouki. I picked some of my favorite folk songs to sing that I''ve been listening
  to over the ages, most of which I''ve learned from the recordings of singers like
  Martin Carthy, Eliza Carthy, Norma Waterson, Maddy Prior, Gay Woods, Tim Hart, and
  Ruth Notman. I haven''t had much time for personal music lately, and I''m glad that
  I was able to record these songs which have always been a strong part of my life.

  Special thanks to my parents who always supported me getting records and encouraging
  me to explore music. I first heard English folk music from going to Record Surplus
  in Santa Monica with my father when I was a kid. They were playing Steeleye Span''s
  fourth album, Below the Salt, and it made a huge impression on me as a pre-teen.
  He let me get that record that day, and my collection of folk music continued to
  grow throughout middle and high school as we visited record stores like Record Surplus,
  Amoeba Music, and Tower Records.'
