Meet Frank Wallace. He composes, sings, plays a formidable classical-romantic guitar and lute, and produces exquisite-sounding recordings. And Nancy Knowles. She sings, writes poems and sometimes lyrics, makes very arty photographs, and designs promotional material. (She's also very nice...) Together, they perform as Duo LiveOak and their new CD called Woman of the Water (songs written by Frank, of course) is terrific. Their repertory spans the ages from medieval to contemporary, often featuring Wallace's own works and arrangements, which sound like what you imagine John Dowland would sound like if he were alive and writing today. Naturally, the couple live in a 1789 farmhouse in the scenic and artistic Monadnock region of New Hampshire.
