Lyrics
Two little good girls
Watchful and wise —
Clever little hands
And big kind eyes —
Look for signs that the world is good,
Comport themselves as good folk should.
They wonder at a father
Who is sad and funny strong,
And they wonder at a mother
Like a childhood song.
And what, and what
Do the two think of?
Of the sun
And the moon
And the earth
And love.

Kat & David met playing hard and fast bluegrass with New Haven string band Five ‘n Change. Their shared background in classical music and affinity for all things trad brought them together to form an intimate and virtuosic duo. With fiddle and various mandolin-family instruments, Wallace & Sasso orbit traditional folk, original songwriting, and the ever-evolving boundaries of Americana music.
