A new solo album of Laurie’s originals with many friends is planned for release this year. Laurie has been in the studio with others over the winter producing CD projects for Ray Bierl (www.raybierl.com) and Susie Glaze (www.susieglaze.com).
Lewis has also posted more downloads on her website at www.LaurieLewis.com.
“This new section [of the website] allows us to furnish individual song and tune downloads from our self-produced CD’s and our deep catalog, as well as the “best of” from live shows. We are offering only stuff that is not available anywhere else. As we go back through the archives, we will be adding some live cuts from over the years. Please let us know what you think, and what you’d like to have made available this way. We’re listening.”Laurie Lewis

Craig learned this tune from fiddler Steve Thomas, who says it’s from Pennsylvania. We occasionally play it in concert. We’d play it more often if the guitar player would break more strings.
