"This morning, listening to Lifestyles format on XMRadio via DirecTV while drinking my morning coffee, I heard an exuberant cello dipping and soaring a melody that could have come from only one album. I hustled into the living room to look at the screen to jog my memory of the identity of the artists and cd as I sank into the wondrous memories of the cut "First Ride" and the extraordinary artists who created this early "New Age" masterpiece. I hadn't heard it in years, as my cassette version is long gone and had fallen apart from overuse anyway. Could it be possible that I could find a copy of "New Friends" on a C/D? And the answer was yes right here on Amazon. It is truly a jewel of a collaboration of two artists who are sympatico beyond imagining. I unqualifiedly recommend this C/D which will send you on an evocative journey that is unparalled and that I have not experienced since I heard this album years ago. Everything works in this album and it is a rare and soulful expression that can and does touch anyone who hears it. If you can get a copy, you will hang onto it for years...it is timeless."
