Hi david and ruth and ridgewoodians!

frith freak:

Oh indeed, Frith’s trilogy of sorts :
“Gravity” was a welcomed revelation as a “solo” monikered album (with assistance from the incomparable Samla Mammas Manna/Zamla’s & The Muffins). Then came a powerhouse followup statement with “Speechless” (assisted by etron fou leloublanc & Massacre). And lastly, the quirky tunesmith “Cheap at Half the Price” - which was indeed a digression of expression. Love it ALL ! Thanks 👏👏👏.
