Following up on the success of Walking Stones, Dorian and the trio (Kolodner, Risk, and Bullock otherwise known as Greenfire) were anxious to record from their Celtic repertoire. The result was a mix of some standard session tunes, a number of lesser known tunes and originals. Ken's favorite from this recording is Sheila Coyle's, played at a very slow tempo with a completely improvised arrangement.
