Our song

In case you hadn't noticed, Jessica and I are all about spreading the love. That, and we like to feature cool people & things you need to know about. We get lots of comments on the song that's on our site, and we know why--it's a GREAT song. As soon as we heard it we knew we had to have it to play while you look at all those sweet mugs on our site.

So. About the song.

It's by a woman named Nancy Falkow. She's a singer-songwriter from Philadelphia who is currently living in Dublin (jealous!). Her coolest credential (in my book) is that she did some background vocals for G. Love & Special Sauce. One of my husband's and my favorite artists, so that instantly boosted her in my eyes several notches.

She has shared stages with : Indigo Girls, Patty Griffin, Steve Forbert, Richie Havens, Donovan, Lilith Fair - Sarah McLachlan & more, Ron Sexsmith, Dan Bern, Bill Morrissey, John Prine, Los Lobos, Al Stewart, Martin Sexton, Gillian Welch, Hammell on Trial, '76ers National Anthem, Jeffrey Gaines, Garrison Starr, Freedy Johnston, Wanderlust, The Bobs, Wild Colonials, The Commitments, Grey Eye Glances, Dayna Kurtz, Emm Gryner, Kacy Crowley, Linda Perry, Jen Trynin, Barbara Kessler, Slo-Mo, Garnet Rogers, Susan Werner, November Project, Mary Fahl, Tom Prasado Rao, Richard Julian, October Project, Matthew Ryan, Jess Klein, Jeff Lang, Mark Erelli, Deirdre Flint, and John Gorka.

Not too shabby. Anyway, I sent her an email the other day telling her how much we love having her song on our site and she emailed me back! Here's what she said:

"Why thanks very much! It's written by me, but put out under the name
Sunflow (the band is myself and Fran King.)

Your photography is lovely! I hope your business is flourishing!

Thanks very much for taking the time to write me, you brightened my day!

Kindest,

Nancy"

Happy listening!
