LINKS AND FRIENDS

	Patrice Haan Our percussionist, vocalist and mulit-instrumentalist Piper Heisig has known Patrice for years (Piper performed with Patrice's husband, Tony Marcus, in Cats and Jammers). Patrice is a talented songwriter and not too long ago passed a recording over to Piper of a song called Catching Your Breath. This song absolutely captures the mysterious and sometimes dark feelings one gets when comparing oneself to others. We relate. And we recorded. This song is the title cut for our second CD, Catching Your Breath.
	Kristina Olsen Kristina is a long-time friend of ours who happens to be one of the most talented and creative singer/songwriters anywhere. We covered her passionate and livid song, How I Love this Tango, on our first CD.
	Larry Unger Larry is an incredible musician who has written over a thousand tunes of which nearly a hundred have been recorded by other bands including us. Our first CD has two of his tunes, The Dancer and Sylvi. We also recording his delightful rag, The Schoenberg Rag, and included it on our second CD.
	Chango Spasiuk To say that the music of this accordionist from Argentina has profoundly affected us is an understatement. His musicianship is astounding and his musical compositions are deep and moving. We regularly perform one of his tunes, Tristeza, which can be found on our second CD, Catching Your Breath.
