This following review was written by Martha Gallagher for the Folk Harp Journal This CD gives you the opportunity to step into Dave and Sharon’s harp shop and enjoy listening to the music they make on the instruments that Dave builds. The wonderful blending of the instruments and musical lines is a lovely testament to these two talented people being exceedingly comfortable making music together.
 I was smitten by the sound of the 1929 Vega Banjo and how incredibly it blended with the gorgeously full tone of Sharon's harp on "Gander in the Pratie Hole." The sultry arrangement of Sharon's original composition, "Sweepin' the Clouds Away" is an excellent example of a harp and guitar duo; the chord inversions on the guitar enhance the chords played on the harp. The Thormahlens give fun and delightful treatments to the several Alfredo Rolando Ortiz selections. Their version of "Autumn Moon" by Frank Voltz is deliciously seductive. The collection of music is easy on the ears, but has a variety of tempos and feels that make it interesting, intriguing and fun.
 Throughout the CD the instruments take turns gracefully trading places providing melody, harmony, rhythm, and groove.
 If this is the music that's played in the Thormahen's harp shop, I want to go and hang out there!
