THINGS HAVE A WAY OF WORKING OUT

By Frank Schwartz

An excellent music man who supported the making of the Chesapeake Story in many venues, comes forward with his own version of a CD. "Dragonfly Dream" on track two is a perfect study of the musical mimicry of the animal antics of the dragonfly over a September marsh.

SECOND COUSINS

By Mac Walter & John Cronin

John and Mac are back-up guitars to a legendary list of Chesapeake story makers. This Bay born duo of guitar masters are following their first CD called Cousins with an all new set list to Second Cousins. They will shake, rattle, and roll your best Travis pickin' image of the way a guitar should or could sound.
