This
is a nice collection of songs that feature "the composing talents
of and musicianship of [Goldberger's] pals here in
Niagara-On-The-Lake." So, it's a collection of songs from local
bands - yippee! There are lots of neat little ditties on this CD, and
each one has a nice, warm homemade feeling to it. For example,
"Friday At Cuvee" is an enjoyable, cinematic piece that has
a very middle-eastern sound to it. The accordion and guitar are used
to express the melodies, and they work very effectively. Meanwhile,
"Russia-Mon" is a lighter piece that has a strong Greek
influence to it. It is kind of like the stuff you would expect to hear
in a Greek restaurant. Altogether, this is a fun, eclectic album. It
offers nothing excellent, but is enjoyable nonetheless.
