March
is already here, and although Winter
barely made an appearance this year, it will be Spring, at least according to
the calendar, later this month. We are
amazed!
We are happy to be sharing an in-the-round Zoom concert this month for the
first time with the wonderful traditional singer and multi-instrumentalist Julie
Henigan (https://www.facebook.com/JulieHeniganMusic/). We are greatly looking forward to working
with her.
Our new recording, “Wheels of Time,” is out in compact disc format, but due to
both I and Phil having fallen victim to one or more of the nasty illnesses
going around this Winter, the Bandcamp site for it is not yet up, but look for
it very soon! If you’re old fashioned
and want to order a CD, see our PayPal me link above. The U.S. price is $20
including shipping and handling.

We are full time touring musicians. Apparently the pandemic is largely over, but we are still live-streaming concerts with
geographically distant artists, as well as playing live concerts. Please check out our appearances for details.
"I've had the delight of
watching two long time friends and musicians grow a duo. I've listened to Phil
Cooper for years as part of a duo/trio/ensemble, with singing partner Margaret
Nelson as the constant through all those years. Phil's darlin’ Susan wrote
wonderful songs, sang wacky and ribald songs she'd found elsewhere and became
an ever more deft musician through those years. Now they're a duo - February
Sky - and the combination of Phil's incredible repertoire of very traditional
song and tune and Susan's singer-songwriter orientation and addition of her
skill with other instruments have been blended into something very different
than what either had done before. Same songs, or tunes from previous
repertoires... but whole different flavor. Each time I see them, what they do
gets tighter, deeper, more distinctive. 'Course it helps that both are
thoughtful,
generous people who like each other lots. --Joanne Laessig, Folknet,
