Fabulously catchy meringues by a celebrated female accordionist. Hot percussion, sax, vocals all combine for a wild and lively release. Not a dud in the bunch. If you can sit still while listening to this then you’re probably in a coma.

1. Fast & fresh w/great solos. Wickedly wiggly and oh so good.
2. Starts mid, picks up with extra good accordion, perc, vocals. Yow!
3. Starts w/cool drums then vocals & band tripping over each other.
4. Impressively fast accordion work plus great vocals & perc.
5. Squeaky and driving w/a great bouncy drive.
6. Tripping melody w/interplay of lead vocals & chorus.
7. Upbeat w/changing rhythms & great accordion solo.
8. Total accordion tour de force. Man she’s good!
9. Bright & lively folk dance w/a party air.
10. Bouncy and driving w/soaring vocals.
11. Wiggly and wicked fast. A total hip-shaker.
12. Sharp accordion bounce, lively perc & vocals.
13. A bit of jazz, sweet sax/accordion interplay. Vox & perc too.
