apparently this band has been around for a while,
but this incarnation includes vickie peterson (from the bangles),
and susan cowsill (yes! from the cowsills!)
 anyhoo i think this is right,
 i pick or strum, and i don't play accordion, though someone
does on the recording...
 a lilting, waltz-like tempo.
listen & you'll get it.
any suggestions, corrections, requests, donations?
