The NEW Brett Ridgeway/Phyllis Brown CD is now available to order! This is our third CD and our favorite thus far. I believe there are a few reasons behind this, namely that this CD is very personal to both of us...all original tunes (with the exception of one lullaby written by her brother, Richard.) with stories behind each one. It was recorded with purpose and emotion. Phyllis did the actual recording and mastering, taking the time and effort to the greatest of details. This CD truly represents us as individuals and as a musical duo.
