  "The Prayer of St. Francis was recorded around the dining room table, initially as part of a collection of hymns and lullabies. It is a song that we often sing together at Mass and contains one of those melodies that seems to have existed forever. I associate this song particularly with my parish school and with Sister Veronica who taught me to play this in the sixth grade."

" If you've ever heard us play you've probably heard us close with Moon River. It was only recently that we went back and learned the "real" chords to this song. It was so much fun to sit with guitars in hands and replay the opening scenes of Breakfast at Tiffany's until all the chords made themselves known. Now when I hear Karen's opening strums of this song, and the piano fall in, I think of sitting on the living room floor and of a yellow taxi rolling down a wide New York street."
