A
Note from Paul & Win:
When we
went into The Land Recording Studio in 1984 to
record our very first album, A Place In The Choir, our
music career was in its infant stage.
You can almost hear our nervous excitement as we play
everything at break-neck speed.
(We’re in the studio, multi-tracking like the
pros, making a cassette tape for all the world to hear!!) In
1986, we quit our day jobs, and become full-time touring
professional folk musicians. A year later, we went back into
the studio to make a record, Fifty Miles of Elbow Room,
and felt like we were really hitting the big time. (We’re
making a record!!)
Our
daughters Leela and
Ellie were always along at our performances and were
often along in the recording studio, observing, learning,
singing, dancing, assisting, and eventually, stealing our
material. It
seemed a natural progression that they would join the band
as we became Paul
& Win Grace and Family.
You can hear the beginnings of the Grace Family band
sound on our 1990 album, Carved Out of Time.
In
2005, we find that what we said on our 1987 LP still
applies: Our
love and thanks to all of the wonderful people who have
listened to us, hosted us for concerts and dances, jammed
with us, put us up, put up with us, and who have been true
friends in many wonderful ways.
Thanks for listening!
