As Time Goes By
To this day people ask other fans of Madeline's, "Were you there that evening when she brought the folk concert audience to their feet with her rendition of Summertime?" (This reminds one of the question, "Were you at Woodstock?") The recording of As Time Goes By brings another dimension to Madeline's singing and her songs. Recognition is there also. Twice, while teaching mountain dulcimer aboard cruise ships, the jazz pianists have asked her to sing during their sets. These songs are timeless. As Time Goes By, My Shining Hour, My Father, Here's That Rainy Day, Stormy Weather, In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning, Just One of Those Things, When I Fall in Love, Urge For Going, Autumn Leaves, You Take My Breath Away, Over The Rainbow.
Songs Of Earth & Sea
Madeline's ancestors made their way from England and Scotland to Newfoundland and Cape Breton, where the sea continued to be a meaningful part of their lives. Because of that heritage she is often called by the silkies, the waves and by beautiful songs back to the sea from her home near Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. Songs Of Earth & Sea celebrates moments of yesterday and today in her family through songs such as: Hori Horo, I Walk In Beauty, New Spring Waltz, Wait 'Til The Clouds Roll By, The Ash Grove, Shenandoah Spring, Hava Nashira, The Water Is Wide, Appalachian Round, Maddie's Garden, Blow The Wind Southerly, Wild Mountain Thyme, An Eriskay Love Lilt.

Her voice, hammered dulcimer and mountain dulcimer are joined by Ralph Gordon (cello, bass0, Michael DeLalla (guitar), 6th Dimension Handbell Ensemble and a host of friends lending voice and instruments.
