“When you enjoy music as much as I eiyoy this album, you want to share it with other people by describing it to them. So you look for the words that are the closest fit,” Mr. Hines concludes.

A quick and informal survey of listeners in Rappahannock found other apt descriptions for the sound of “Feather River”:

• “Poetry without words.”

• “Day dreaming music. ”

“Feather River” is also available at Mountain Side Market in Washington, Picture This Gallery in Warrenton, Culpeper Music Center in Culpeper, Royal Oak Book Store and Better Thymes in Front Royal, and from the artists by sending $10 for cassette or album, $15 for compact disc, to Tom Espinola and Lorraine Duisit, Route 1, Box 937, Washington, VA 22747.
