   About Boots n’ Shorts
it was a cold night in central new york, the snow was deep and the truck got stuck. we saw many wild nights at the farm; wild turkey, homebrew, baked ziti, and the last fifty-fifty was a little bit lean. we had gone our separate ways since then, but red garvin and the soggy bottom bandit remained and would soon meet grabford, who came from a long line of musicians, and was born with banjo picks on his right hand, which was great for picking, but a little too good for bad itches. then one day we heard a knock on the door & opened it just in time to see a nun peeling away on a harley. we looked down at our feet & saw our bundle of joy, swaddled in blankets and sporting a wicked fiddle. she would be named liza jane, & brought peace & prosperity to the land of wachusett. with peace & prosperity comes more free time & increased traffic, which is hard to measure by any common reckoning. the fellowship of the string could only fulfill their destiny by knowing the road upon which they traveled. one day, red, soggy, grabford, & liza jane were naming shapes in the clouds when one of the clouds came alive with a thunderous bass that had strings capable of laying a fat rhythm on the road. behind the bass was the one they called aaron, which in hebrew means "he without a nickname" & the number of they who krenzle the ferndocks was brought to five, thus completing the prophecy once and for all. today the gang whole heartedly keeps the old tradition alive in their music. we’re all gettin older but the groove’s still new! recent sightings place them at the syracuse suds factory, felicia’s atomic lounge in ithaca, ny, sterling stage, or wherever hard times call for music with old roots and great grooves. from ten cent wings to fifty cent drafts everything sounds better with a little bluegrass.

Hey kev,
Remember that one time that you were like "bob dylan is the greatest musician of all time, his talents by far exceed that of john lennon, and i only wish i could marry him and tour the country with him in a family band..." cause that was awesome.
