Oh, by the way ... as to the name ... originally we were going to call ourselves Les Paul, but that would have made it kinda hard to get a website... Next best seemed to be an obscure Latin phrase that probably makes people think we sing madrigals instead of folk music. Seriously, if you're familiar with Rene Descarte's immortal quotation
"Cogito, ergo sum" (I think, therefore I am) you might see how Ergo Canto ("Therefore we sing") might fit us.
