Orillia Opry – Padio Haliaetus

It really depends on when I hear a record whether I connect with it or not. I first heard this rootsy duo (plus friends) during a frazzled weeknight writing session and it seemed to be innocuous country music. Then I put in on on a late summer Sunday morning as my wife and I goofed around with our daughter and slowly got our act together. Orillia Opry provided perfect accompaniment. (Terence Dick)
