It’s something new for us, but has been great fun. All hymns, most of them
traditional, all of them done in our eclectic Celtic FiddleStickian style.
Our CD release party will be June 23 but we’re taking pre-release party
orders now. BONUS: Order now in advance, and get a dollar off, and shipping
is free! Just $14, and we pay the sales tax. And get two for $25! (We’ll
be away on tour until June 14, so order received before then will be
processed as soon as we get back! Or if you can’t wait, you can get them
from most LDS bookstores nationwide, including of course Deseret Book and
