Songs From Our Circle 5

In the four years since the BSA last released an open compilation, its song circles have heard hundreds of songs. Finding some of those tunes spruced-up for this collection is a wonderful joy. Many Members featured here have joined since that last compilation, some sharing their recording debuts. Conversely, a few stalwarts here also shared songs on the first BSA CD, four compilations ago. Regardless of tenure, the community of BSA Members is what makes the organization hum - the music is a bonus.

Thanks to the BSA Board for project approval, to Ty and Kate for being the CD Committee, to Eileen at Oasis, to the Members who've shared their songs, and to you the listener, an important reason why the BSA keeps sharing its music. Enjoy!

-Ken Gutberlet, BSA President, December 2009
