"Who Are You Giving Your Power To?"

So this story begins two or three years ago when my sister and her friend Suzy told me that I had to come up to Cafe Cravings, a coffee shop in White Bear Lake. Becky told me that there was this husband and wife singing duo that I had to see: Tom and Cathy. Beck and Suz would call me up from the cafe on Friday nights giggling over this pair that they described as Ron and Shiela. They sang, played guitar and folk flute (or percussive flute - Cathy's term), and wrote aging hippie self-help tunes such as "Self Esteem (is an Inside Job)" and "Who Are You Giving Your Power To?"

I decided to go to one of their events. I laughed so hard I was crying and hiding behind my coffee. These guys are unreal. Here they are:

And taking on the persona of Ms. Catherine - her children's entertainer:



But to truly enjoy Cathy and Tom, you must go to their website and check them out for yourself. The music clips will give you all the information you need. I think we should go to one of their gigs this summer.
