(5 out of 5 stars)

"These folks have been around the block more than a few times and have managed to make sense of it all with sensitivity and humor. We can't walk away from the difficulties of life, but we can render them more bearable and we can get off our buns and make changes, even if only small ones. All this is to the tune of charming folksy music that will make you laugh and bring a tear to your eye.

As you may have determined by the titles to the songs, they have an anti-war bent. But they also have a very pro-soldier, support-our-troops perspective. All of the performers are members of Veterans for Peace. After you listen to this CD, you'll want to hug the next soldier you see.



Peace and Love! :-{D}"
