Can you say Indie? Vol 2!

That's right, it is finally out. And just in time; I am leaving on Friday for Jamaica. After I made my selections for the cd, I realized that many songs featured prominent violins or cellos, hence the "Attack of the Strings" sub-title. Here is the track list, including a couple that didn't quite make the cut, but deserve honourable mention. And, as always, I can send a copy of the cd your way via request. Enjoy!

As you can see, I debated thoroughly each song, and I really couldn't make up my mind. I seriously considered a double cd compilation, but I didn't want to start that trend, so one cd it stays. But, if you have a chance, check out these bands and/or songs.
