| The Minstrels of Mayhem NOW is the recoding that formally adds Craig
Broers as a member of the Minstrels of Mayhem (ahem). The songs here
are often classic or traditional songs that one can listen to again
and again.
Of special note is Katie Sings. In this song, each individual
sings the part of a different member of a town telling of the time of
day when they can relax - miller, smith, and tinker. Following the
verse, is a series of 'la's. No text can capture the notes that are
sung. Finally, on the last verse, they all sing together, and each
individual's 'la's are sung again, interweaving with each
other. I highly recommend a chance to listen to these excellent musicians
if you have the opportunity.
