The record label says:
Master percussionist, musical nomad, Marc Anderson has long been associated with Steve Tibbetts and his brand of elegant world fusion. Rooted in traditions from warmer places than his Minnesota home, Anderson the composer brings to this new CD a gentle and intimate personality; a loving tribute to his grandmother, Ruby.
In addition to Marc’s own playing on berimbau, mbira, steel drums and African drums, Ruby features an all-star cast of global musicians including: Barb Cohen, vocals; Laura Mackenzie, bagpipes; Dean Magraw, guitar, Sowah Mensa, water drums; Peter Ostroushko, fiddles; and Enrique Toussaint, bass. The Enhanced CD also features a music video and an interactive game where you too can play with Marc’s wild collection of instruments at the touch of a mouse.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
