This alternative power folk cd is a result of what happens when the composer was told by doctors that her hands wouldn't be well enough to play guitar again; and she proved them all wrong.
Bio / Background
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.
