      The Pied Piper's Call:
      Music from Ireland and Other Worlds


      Tim Britton with Mark
      Simos, Albert Alfonzo and Friends

      1993 Tim Britton

        Tim Britton is one of my all-time
        favorite musicians and people; a gifted piper, whistle player,
        improviser, tunesmith, accompanist. He also taught me to eat
        bee pollen, not to ride in roadsters with him (the week after
        he got his driver's license he rear-ended a cop car!), to beware
        of people practicing TM on the third floor above my bedroom,
        and to treasure true musical companionship when you're lucky
        enough to find it. This album was recorded at an audiophile's
        retreat, far from the disturbing influences of the electromagnetic
        effluvia of the Grid of Which We Are All Unfortunately Part.
        Other worlds indeed!
      

      

      The Starry Lane to
      Monaghan 

      Fintan Vallely
      & Mark Simos


      1991 Whinstone Discs

        Fintan is a great flute-player,
        originally a piper, with a strong rhythmic "pushing breath"
        style in the tradition of some of the great older style Northern
        players. This album was a reunion effort for us after many years
        had passed since our 1984
        Shanachie release. After recording this Fintan and I got to play
        Irish music around Verona, Italy. Reciting the Myles na Gcopaleen
        "Catechism of Cliche" the entire way...
