"Old Friends is a winner. Great tunes, played with vitality, wonderful contrast, clear phrasing, delightful humor
and general cheerfulness. Whimsical and informative liner notes. Attractive appearance."
--- Marshall Barron, New Haven, CT
"The playing is superb throughout. The variety of instrumentation and the sheer
professionalism make this a recording
you will want to listen, as well as dance, to. It's eminently danceable throughout,
with some magical moments and very sensitive playing."
--- Colin Hume, Letchworth, England
"This CD sets a new standard for English country dance recordings."
--- Mary Conser, Amherst, MA
"The artistry of the musicians is outstanding. Gary selects very interesting
music to begin with, but what these folks do with it is just marvelous. The track
of "Good Man of Cambridge" is worth the cost of the whole CD! Hats off to Mary Lea,
Gene Murrow, Margaret Ann Martin, Dan Beerbohm, Barbara Greenberg, & Jonathan
Jensen!" ---Margherita Davis, Hudson and New York, NY

for all my friends." ---Richard Brown, Conklin, NY

[This CD] is a gift to the world of country dancing."

"[Old Friends] is totally wonderful! We love it!! Everyone
did such a good job with it." ---Mary Devlin, Portland, OR
"What a superb CD of music! We particularly like the clever arrangements
and the variety given by the different combinations of instruments. The best
description for "The Good Man of Cambridge" is WOW! We are sure that if Mozart
had known, he would have written more dance tunes for you folks." ---David
and Kathryn Wright, Lichfield, England
"I clean house to this CD. It gives me energy." ---Barbara Kaufman,
Binghamton, NY
