. . . a lucky
throwback, a dash of cold water in the face--
a wake up call, if you
will . . . Decorah's marvelous Foot-Notes are
a sprightly quartet
which-- for nearly ten years now-- has specialized in
the antiquated, unamplified
music of their immigrant Norwegian ancestors . . .
Foot-Notes are a terrific,
organic band-- the likes of which
we just haven't found
in these parts for some time.
Take the kids and shake
your feet ...
