Search - Common Ground :: Wings of Silver

Folk/Rock in the tradition of the Byrds and Fairport Convention. Cheryl Cloud and Common Ground had started rehearsals for this project before Cheryl passed away in 1995 after a long struggle with cancer. She asked the other members to complete the CD if she didn't make it. This was definitely a heartfelt labor of love. The record features 11 songs by Cheryl Cloud (she makes a moving appearance on "The Secret is You" ) and introduces the songwriting team of Marcy Hogan and Mark Cloud. "The Secret is You" was recorded in 1992 with Cheryl playing alone with her guitar; Mark Cloud engineered the recording. It was a very emotional session in the studio in 1995, just after Cheryl's passing, when Marcy Hogan added her distinctive viola to round out this recording. More of those recordings will soon be available as a Cheryl Cloud solo CD, "Legacy." Mark Cloud (Vocals, Electric and Acoustic Guitars, Mandolin, Dulcimer, Keyboards); Marcy Hogan (Vocals, Viola, Keyboards); Scott Van Dusen (Drums, Percussion); Mike Tunstall (Vocals, Bass, Guitars)
