Hi Friends, This new album I have embarked on is a labor of love. Being a resident of birth of one of the original 13 aka New Jersey and living 2 miles from the Dey Mansion Hq of General George Washington it was inevitable that this album would someday come about! The titles bring the word "Intrigue" into focus. Namely: "The Culper Spy Ring", "Jin Rivington Was A Tory", "The Scarlet Fever", "The Unnamed Monument", "It's Tea Time At Greenwich NJ", "The Cedar Bridge Tavern Affair", "King George Who Lost His Head!", "The Meeting At St. John's Chirch", "Peter Francisco's Sword", "The Forgotten General of Ringwood Manor" are 10 of the 15 song titles.

Our countries heritage is always a wonderful challenge to bring forth to any audience but well worth the effort! Many artists are turning out good song after song with their personal and often universal meaning but to offer this palette gives another slice of the American pie that is delicious and intriguing to boot! Do you know of a famous American Monument that is unnamed with only a boot and an epaulette to show for it? Do you know of the other 9 "tea parties besides the Boston Tea Party? The Last one was at Greenwich New Jersey. Do you know of how a king lost his head at Princeton University's Nassau Hall? HAVE YOU HEARD OF america's first Secret Service aka "The Culper Spy Ring"? Does the "Swamp Fox of Carolina" ring a bell of one of the most daring officer's in General George Washington's Continental Army? How about "The Meeting At St. John's Church…do you know what momentous phrase that was spoken there that turned the tide of our country's thought towards the British? Nd one more…what happened at the Cedar Bridge Tavern Affair that was the last battle of the American Revolution?

Well now, don't get me wrong…I'm not spouting out or getting any bragging rights on this. I just want to give you some great entertainment American History style! Do you lie Bagpipes, Talking Blues, Bluegrass, Folk, Bluegrass, Country Western, and some good ole Dobro and Pedal Steel too. Waell here's a treat. And to top it all, you'll come out of all this with now only entertaining songs but as wealth of little known but intriguing American History. So come aboard folks…set you digital watches back about 239 years and sit back and be truly enjoying this palette of American Heritage that is a tapestry of intrigue on the American Revolutionary War of 1775 to 1783. Welcome aboard! Bernie Griff
