专辑简介

Change can be such a daunting challenge. Almost immediately following the passing of Tom Rowe, we agreed that replacing him was not possible, especially after an uninterrupted twenty-nine years as a trio. This album will sound a little familiar and a little different, reflecting the natural change of becoming a duo. Some of these songs we've known for decades. "Sullivan's John" was one of the first songs Schooner Fare learned in 1975. "Castles In The Sky" was written in the early 1970's. "The Boys of The Island" was written over a century ago and rearranged only days before this recording. What has not changed over the decades is our love of folk music, storytelling, harmony and performing. This album reflects a return to our roots as brothers playing together, sometimes with our Dad, sometimes with other family members, sometimes with a friend or two, sometimes just by ourselves. We will always hear Tom as we hope you will too. We are grateful for the encouragement of so many loved ones, both known and unknown, whose blessing affords us " a boat that can carry two." Chuck and Steve
