- Phil and Vivian Williams
- When we started Swing Cat Enterprises way back in 1992 we were inspired by Seattle's Phil and Vivian Williams. Their company, Voyager Records, is one of the finest small record labels around. Over the years they have released dozens of great CDs featuring some of the finest folk fiddling around, including the playing of the legendary Benny Thomasson. Their large and extremely interesting website can be found at www.VoyagerRecords.com. Surf on over and see what our friends Phil and Vivian are up to!
