Glen Soulis

Guitar accompaniment is provided by Ken Brown, except for the tunes marked with an asterisk. Those guitar parts were provided by Kevin Ramessar. My thanks go to both these musicians, whose imagination, skill and heart helped make this project as enjoyable as it is.

All whistle and harmony violin parts are the responsibility of yours truly.

Thanks are also due to Ron Roy, for his fine engineering and to Mike Froome at M&T printing Group for his generous support in printing labels and covers. The cover art is taken from a wood-cut print by James Bentley. A final, important thanks to my wife Helen, for her thoughtful suggestions and support.

All whistles used on ths project were made by Michael Burke. They are reasonably priced, hand-finished instruments with a beautiful tone, available through the internet at mdburke@midwest.net.

The tunes on this collection can all be found in The Celtic Fake Book (Hal - Leonard). There are lyrics to most of them. In some cases they have been transposed.
