Looking Ahead (CD)
$13.00
This collection of dulcimer/guitar instrumentals includes a wide variety of rich arrangements that are sure to please. In addition to some original and traditional pieces, there are a few wonderful songs that hit the pop charts in the last few decades.

For the Fun of It! (CD)
$13.00
A collection funny and "feel good" songs that will bring a smile to all kinds of audiences. Most of the songs are written by Joe, but a few are old folksongs and hand-me-downs from younger days. One is written by a good friend, Dan Williams. Dulcimer and guitar are the primary instruments in this zany collection, and there are a couple of instrumentals, including Joe's arrangement of the "William Tell Overture." However, most of the CD includes singing and crazy lyrics!

Erin's Wish (CD)
$13.00
The title of this all instrumental Christmas recording is named after my daughter, and apple of my eye, Erin Collins. Every year at Christmas, she’s the one who starts getting excited first and starts making wishes. We all join her after she prods us to get into the season. All arrangements are by Mike and/or myself except for Silent Night, which is arranged by our good friend David Putnam. I’m excited that my son, Sean, joined us on a couple songs with his drums. He adds a lot to “Personet Hodie” and “Erin’s Wish.”
