…If Windy and Warm is an accurate reflection of their stage performances, an evening with them would be well worth the price of a ticket. -- John Lupton, Sing Out! Magazine

…Neatly combines the cozily familiar with the mildly exotic… Janis' dulcimer becomes more spry, resonant and irresistible with each year. Combined with Cagley's well-placed and plucked Martin guitar, it's truly a folk sound suited to all occasions -- Tom Surowicz, Twin Cities Reader

The playing is sparkling and very clean… Bill's use of melodic bass runs in his rhythm really gives drive. The title tune is lovely, and it's pretty unusual to hear this one done on hammered dulcimer, with string bends and everything. -- Jeremy Butler, WUAL

The new CD, Windy and Warm, is EXCELLENT!!!!! My family has listened to it over and over again. My kids dance around the room to it. Your music helps provide a warm/happy family. -- Dan K. (a satisfied customer)
