...a note from Laughing Bird
Dear Friend & fellow music lover,
Our music lifestyle is a journey from the heart, driven by our love of new places, new people and new expriences. Thanks to you, our musical adventure together has taken usto all 50 states and many other countries since we first started singing together in the mid 70s. We appreciate your purchases, contacts and referrals that have helped us to continually take the next step.
Some people buy two or three of our CDs at a time to get the FREE CDs to give as gifts. Others take advantage of our wholesale prices to resell our CDs in catalogs, natural food stores, shops and businesses involving massage, yoga, tai chi, new age, etc. (Wherever positive music is sold.) We are happy to be able to offer FREE CD specials and quantity discount prices. All our albums are longer than average ... three of them are as long as many double albums. We like giving more than your moneys worth!
Syncronicity has been a good compass for us through the years and we are grateful for people like you who have played such an important role in keeping this music flowing.
Yours for a song,
Tupelo and Janey Wing Kenyon
