Details:
Crown of the Carolinas refers to the many wonderful places in the Carolinas & beyond, rather than referring to the group musicians. These places, and the treasures they hold, inspired the music, and it is dedicated to them.

From Ellicott to Blowing Rock
Clingman's Dome to Catalochee
Swannanoa, Sassafras to Shenandoah
And all that's in between
I've heard it's called God's country
Well I don't know if this is where he's from,
But I'll bet if he takes a vacation
This is where he comes.

"The Angels' Share" was a phrase first used by the whiskey makers of Scotland, & later Appalachia. It refers to the tiny essence of whiskey that escapes into the mountain air during the distilling process. The places & things mentioned in this collection are just the Angels' Share of the countless offerings from this area. There are thousands of these treasures, and it's impossible to mention them all, but I hope the Angel's Share will inspire everyone to go out and discover more about this wonderful area.

Blue ridge after blue ridge
I have to stop & stare
And when I think I've seen it all
It's just the Angel's Share
