Talk of the Point

Anne Zesiger’s new CD, “Aesop For All Ages,” finally made it onto the Santa Fe Market’s meat counter this weekend. A steal at $15. She spent six years producing it, and toward the end she wondered if she’d ever finish. She performs songs with lyrics by her father, H.C. Nachtrieb. All are based on Aesop fables and intended for any age.

Zesiger has lived in the Point for 12 years and teaches at Marin Country Day School in Corte Madera.

One review on her web page says, “What a great album! I used to read Aesop’s fables as a kid. They remain great, engaging, stories with good messages that really hold true today. This album really makes these stories come alive with wonderful music and excellent lyrics. A perfect companion to reading the stories with your family. I plan on sharing this with my many nephews and nieces. Zesiger has an amazing voice, and production and musicians on this album are really sweet.”

You can listen to generous two-minute samples of four songs and buy the CD online online. (To hear the clips, you’ll need the Real player.) Of course, if you don’t want to fool with all that, just pick one up at Santa Fe. They’re right over the chicken legs.
