lyrics

There was a boy,
a very strange enchanted boy;
They say he wandered very far,
very far, over land and sea.
A little shy, and sad of eye,
but very wise was he.

And then one day,
one magic day he came my way;
And as we spoke of many things,
fools and kings; this he said to me.
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
is just to love and be loved in return.

about

Chuva Boa Portland, Oregon

Colleen Kitchen and Laura Zaerr have played together for many years, so we thought we'd do Latin Jazz on the harp and see where it takes us. Along the way we added Kevin Ronkko on percussion and very recently Ron Green on bass.
