This was released @ Contata (July 1-3) and I for some reason never posted the announcement here.. (Maybe I should update my web page too... )

Sounds good. All classics, except for the last two, which will be.

I know almost all of these: some well enough to sing, the rest w/ about 2 exceptions well enough to know what they're about. #8 is I think the first song I learned to play (accompany) on guitar. "And the little tai-lor goes tripping through Hell with the broadcloth under his arm."
