Hands Across the Water - Tsunami Relief CD

Well, this blog is for guitar pickin' and lawyerin' as well as racin', so I want to promote another project that I am proud to be helping with:

Hands Across the Water will raise money for children whose lives were devastated by the South East Asia Tsunami. My dear friends Andrea Zonn, fiddle player and singer, and John Cutliffe, Irish musician and producer who operates JigTime, have recruited other musicians from England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and America to make a CD of collaborations between Celtic musicians and American traditional and country musicians. They are getting ready to launch shortly.

The artists so far: Altan - Vince Gill - Lúnasa - Tim O'Brien - Darrell Scott - Máirtín O Connor -Andrea Zonn - Flook - Alison Brown - Beth Nielsen Chapman - Sharon Shannon - John Cowan - Manus McGuire - Paul Brock - Michael McGoldrick - Ciaran TourishJerry Douglas - Bill Shanley - Jon Randall - Paul Brady - John Prine - Fiona Prine - Dermot Byrne - Solas - Jim Lauderdale - Maura O'Connell - Karen Matheson - Donal Shaw - Cerys Matthews.

Proceeds from sales will go directly to Save the Children organization.
