If you are a Schooner Fare fan, you should definitely own this CD. It has several songs that I heard them perform live years ago when I lived in Washington, DC. I actually prefer Alive and We the People, but this is my third favorite of their albums.

If you aren't yet a Schooner Fare fan, this CD provides a good introduction to their unique brand of maritime folk music. After listening to this, you will become a fan.

If you haven't yet heard Schooner Fare this album gives you a good feel for the group. Thie trio sings primarily maritime songs (hence "Day Of The Clipper") but do venture into other subjects for material. Their graceful harmonies and acoustic instrumentataion makes listening a joy!

This is the first in a long line of great harmonic recordings from a trio that has been together for 28 years. They keep the folk tradition alive and breathing with poignant lyrics, nice instrumentation and SENSATIONAL HARMONIES!!!!!!!!!God bless Schooner Fare!!!!!!!!!! Come see em' at Penn's Peak in Jim Thorpe, PA on 10/10/03.

Scooners Fair is one of my favorites and especially this CD.

Unfortunately Scooners Fair does not exist any more, a big

los for all us sconner captains and crew.

This CD certainly evokes the majesty and mystique of the days of the sailing vessels and the times that spawned the age of sail. A fastastic group with a really great sound as well as an appreciated message.
