1982 - 1987
Line-up: Paul Espinoza, Margie Butler, Lief Sorbye, Florie Brown
Margie, Paul and Lief started off
1982 as a trio, with another tour of Europe. They were joined later in the year by
Florie Brown,
who actually stepped in to substitute for Lief at the Squaw Valley
Festival.
At the end of 1982, Golden Bough started work on "The
Boatman's Daughter", which was released early in 1983.

In 1984, Golden Bough released their third recording,
"Flight of Fantasy". This was a unique
album, in that it contained all original compositions. Both Lief and Paul
contributed songs to this
collection, with Margie penning her first instrumental piece. The following year,
one of the first
collections of Celtic music for Christmas and winter was released, 'Winter's
Dance".
This remains one of the group's most requested albums.

The end of 1987 was also the end of an era
for Golden Bough. Lief left the group to start his own band,
Celtic rockers "Tempest". Margie, Paul and Florie continued on as a
trio ...
