No Commercial Appeal

Blow the Candles Out

Verdant Braes of Skree

Alabama Jubilee


David Beede, Mark Treacy & Suwonneh Wood were well known around Gainesville Florida during the late 70s playing under the tongue in cheek name of “No Commercial Appeal” (which unfortunately proved prophetic.) They played folk festivals, coffee houses and street corners from New Orleans to Maine. Their enthusiastic versions of American and British Isle folk tunes have stood the test of time. (22 tunes - see cover)

David Beede - hammered dulcimer, fretted dulcimer  & vocals
Suwonneh Wood - bowed psaltery, penny whistle, guitar  & vocals
Mark Treacy - guitar, fretted dulcimer & mandolin
Bill Dudley - recording engineer & guitar on “Ashgrove”
