California based singer-songwriter Ismay has released "The Stones" the second single off of her debut LP, Songs of Sonoma. "The Stones" was inspired after meeting a nylon string guitar player, Rex, chronicling the magic of Sonoma Mountain through one of Rex's most prized possessions, stones. These Klamath River stones were only seen by a few and when shined with a special light, galaxies of stars appeared in the stones.
