Skeltons Die Laughing:

I got the name of the album from looking at photos of the skeletons in the museum of Pompey.  All of them, although they died in agony, had the eeriest looking smile, as all skeletons do, and the images gave rise to a poem, “Skeletons die laughing at genetic instruction angled toward defeat , a Knife through the cagey ribs”.  Meaning that no matter what, death is an idea we never accept, against all evidence to the contrary.

There are 14 songs, including Skeletons Die Laughing, the lyrics can be viewed here

Healer: With A Twist!
Album meticulously edited and mixed by Willie Murphy, who also added some surprises and enhancements to the music. With heroic  help from Chris Shillock and others, you know,  it takes a village to raise a torch-folk singer!

“Refreshingly original, great guitar work, lyrics and voice. This CD was much to my liking. I enjoyed the guitar picking. A twelve string guitar is used, and she knows how to use it. I liked the lyrical content, and the voice behind it. Its one of those CD’s that I can listen to in its entirety. In fact, it has remained in the 6-disk player for some time now. ”        -Wm T Bucholtz
