About the Artist
Here is a collection of new acoustic music at its finest: original collaborations by long-time musical co-conspirators Neal Hellman and Joe Weed include Half-Moon Room, Appaloosa, Song for Lori and No Bow Tie, along with a diverse selection of arrangements of traditional pieces from Italy and Spain, plus classic works by Mouret, Galilei and O'Carolyn. The enchanting title track is a magical tale of sailors and sea creatures in which each instrument plays a role, inspired by Peter and the Wolf.

Product Description
As an independent label, we've worked hard to develop a distinctive sound — part-folk, part-classical, all-acoustic instrumental music. We feel our music is indeed unique, and we've never compromised in our determination to produce only the highest quality, most beautifully packaged recordings.

We include detailed liner notes for those who are curious about the history and background of the music.

Gourd has licensed music to Warner Bros. Music, Narada, Hearts of Space, Windham Hill, The Disney Channel, A&E and The History Channel. Selections from the Gourd recording The World Turned Upside Down were featured on the Ken Burns documentary Thomas Jefferson. Three Gourd recordings were featured on Ken Burns' latest project ( a documentary on Susan B. Anthony & Elizabeth Cady Stanton) on PBS.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful Ceremony Music!.......2000-06-29

This music is a wonderful choice for ceremony music. We are using it for our outdoor wedding and it sounds beautiful!

5 out of 5 stars Great Wedding music.......2000-04-20

This album is terrific! The mix of instruments give the songs true magic. I plan to use all of these songs in my wedding.

5 out of 5 stars Weed's lyricism comes forth in this splendid CD........1999-11-02

Dream of the Manatee is one of Joe Weed's best works. Neal Hellman's dulcimer music twines around the other instruments. Some pieces are dreamy and slow and others more urgent. But they blend into an atmosphere of Sea Life that is unbeatable.
