Glad to see that Elizabeth. Thank you.

I just received the Filisko and Noden Live CD this past week. It is a gem.
There is something wonderfully understated about Filisko's virtuosity. It
comes across in the video as well.

I also got the Improbabillies CD. The musicianship on this one is
wonderful -- there is a great balance among the musicians.

The Filisko Noden CD also has very good liner notes, by the way.

Two great disks.
