Julie also has a solo CD ("Walk the Worn Out Floor"), but it's very different than I expected, sort of piano lounge sounding. And as an aside, Julie's twin sister Kate has a folk album called "Daisy Petals on My Head". Both CDs are available at (where else?) Ladyslipper , and there are sound clips for each. Oh, and you're browsing for "Kate Wolf (The Seattle-ite)", not Kate Wolf the folk legend. :-) Here's Ladyslipper's description of Julie's CD: >Julie Wolf - Walk The Worn Out Floor >I've seen Julie play piano and sing with the exquisitely goofy Lisa Koch, >the boisterous Laura Love, and the fireball Teresa >Trull.

I just swoon. Recommended!
