Limited quantities of this extraordinary CD are available from us or from Edna's estate. Call or e-mail for availability. During the year 2001, we released two new CD's. Gregg Krupa and Brett P spent the summer and autumn here at The Ol' Possum Squash Studios recording their new acoustic CD "Traveler".
