With bagpipes, dulcimer, fiddle guitar -- and crystalline voices -- [the Armstrongs] offer us a familial recounting of the human's sunny side, though the darkling touch hovers. It is slyly humorous on occasion. It is of nature, man, woman and the mystery of birth, death and rebirth. They spin the wheel of life as naturally as a croupier at roulette. We are the beneficiaries of a simple gift, a precious one. It is a celebration of life itself.' --Studs Terkel
