Bio
You may ask yourself, "Why?" Why do modern day pizza eaters sing of treeing a possum? The people in this group are mysteriously drawn to play old timey music. In fact each one in the group may be a missing link: they each seem to be transported back in time (de-evolutionized) as evidenced by the following: Jack has a fascination with chipping away at stone and spends countless hours doing so. Lee Ann has an absorption with making webs of string and bits of fluff for the purpose of making such things as cloaks. Brandy has an interest in fire and its uses in cooking. And Brandon has a continuing involvment with the wheel. Somehow this group was drawn together from various places and it seems that they were meant to be together. Notice the following: Brandy and Lee Ann both have 6 letters in their names. When the number of letters in Jacks name is subtracted from Brandons name the difference is 3...Exactly half of 6!!.....Coincidence? I think not! So this band is not to be missed by any of you hayheads out there! -

Sounds Like
Music you hear on the back (and front) porches in the Ozark hills, Appalachian Mountains and anywhere mountain folks get together to musically examine their heritage in America. Sounds like a pot-luck dinner at the Chicken House Opry (thanks Harold!) and the Granny Chicks theatre in Neosho Missouri. Sounds like the Johnson Family Jam and the Jam at Rick and Peggy's. Sounds like the spirit of our friends and family who love and have loved to play old-timey music.

I've got 3 new recordings up on my page if you'd like to hear them.
January Wind is the story of 3 miners who in 1921, during the big coal miners strike, went out on the back of their own property to dig some coal to heat their houses.
Smooth Sailing is a trip on a boat.
Rq 4 Binkie is an instrumental.
Hope to see you soon
Love,
Holly
