Simon was asked to make a CD and to help with Winter Revels, 2015 in New Hampshire. With only a month to make an album with the story Tam Lin, he got to work. In the four weeks they had Rob Brookes put together the artwork and layout while Simon put together the stories and music. Unlike the other recordings he had made up to this point, this was all Simon - music, stories, and production! Apart from the artwork, which was Rob’s.
