Ernie and I performed for many years under the name of Noyes and More Noyes. This is a collection of some of our favorite songs from that time. Hobo’s Blues Traditional Gypsies at heart, this has been our theme song. Police Come Traditional Unfortunately, where there are hobos, there are also police! Waltz of the Little Girls Traditional A French-Canadian waltz, featuring Ernie on twin mandolins. Rough and Rocky Traditional A woman at Cowboy Pizza in Nevada City asked us to put this on our next album. We don’t know who she is, but we remembered her. Redwood Hills Gordon Lightfoot Dedicated to everyone who is working to save what’s left of our old-growth forests. The Road Home Ingrid Noyes Composed on the road, coming home from Humboldt County on Highway 101.
