Press Reviews TENNESSEE RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL BY MISTRESS' DELILAH & RUBY- We found “Menagerie” especially festive, with a fine mix of hammered dulcimer, guitars, mandolin, flutes, and (sometimes bawdy) vocals. RENRADIO - Wonderful hammered dulcimer music and singing. Some great pub tunes with bawdy limericks and toast. Great to listen to when you need a faire fix. RENRADIO - If I had to choose from all of my CD's that sound like you're standing in the middle of a Renaissance Faire pub MENAGERIE's "Down the Brae" would be sitting on the top of that pile. The CD is full of timeless gems that we all love to sing along with & there is plenty of energetic hammered dulcimer instrumentals that will get the most lethargic bar stool warmer on their feet. But what makes the CD fun is the sprinking of limericks & toast between the tracks.
