	Dan Possumato - Pulling Out the Stops "One of the common characteristics of the older generation of traditional musicians was the respect they gave to "The Music," understanding that regardless of their individual talents they were servants of the collective tradition. It is heartening to hear a recording that keeps this in mind with excellent playing, interesting tune selections, extensive liner notes and one that is blessedly lacking any electric "improvements" or hint of an orangutanplaying a didgeridoo as a special guest!Dan, a Pittsburgh native and long time resident of Anchorage, Alaska, made most of this recording in Portland, Oregon, USA. Almost all the additional musicians participating are Portland residents, showing the remarkable universal appeal of Irish music and that Portland does in fact have some talented musicians. A very enjoyable listen. Well done." -- Mikey Beglan, Portland. Button Accordion	$19
