Why is it so easy to back up Christian folk songs with an acoustic guitar?
Because these guitars contain 'cross' bracing.
[joke by SS, 3 Nov 2002]
I hope you are all stout of heart and full of throat.
We've got some singing to do.
Our songs come from history and people's daily living.
Make you laugh, make you cry. They live. So do we.
-Joyce Katzberg, Oct 2002

Thanks to everyone who is working to prevent war and everything that causes it.
