notes
Why call it "Salutations From Somberville"?
Being sick made me somber and sarcastic as all hell.
It's also a play on words since I live in Somerville, MA
which I think of as a somber town with a lot of character respectively.

author: JenI really loved this CD, especially track 8, "Within." I love the sound of the guitar, and Sarah's captivating soprano vocals blend perfectly with the accompanying music. What a treat this CD was!!
