    Compact Discs are the traditional method of listening to music in late 18th Century Ireland, Scotland, and the Canadian Maritimes. Using an ancient technique called "digitization", Celtic craftsmen spun silver into tiny ones and zeroes using looms, then sold the precious discs to their English masters. At parties, the English aristocrats would then produce special music-goats, which would decode the ones and zeroes and bleat the tunes they read. While ancient Celtic digitization and goat-reading have been lost to history, we present the next best thing.

    Modern Compact Discs are manufactured from plastics rather than silver, but they still retain a beautiful shine on the reverse side, which sparkles in the sun and will dazzle your friends. Using laser technology, the discs are decoded into electrical signals in something called a "CD Player", which are then transferred into soundwaves via magnets in things called "speakers". (CD Player and Speakers sold separately)

    The CD version of Looking Out for Better Weather comes in a cardstock case featuring cover art by Liza Gareau Tosh.

about

This one is for my Dad. Many pieces of music are written in memory of loved ones lost but this one is for a loved one who must find a way to go on living after losing their spouse of more than 50 years. It is meant to convey the pain and uncertainty faced every day as they learn to live alone. -Rob
