We didn’t start singing and playing guitar while still in the womb, we haven’t been hailed as the new Dylan and we aren’t American Idol friendly. We’re a couple of empty-nester baby-boomer back-porch songwriters turned street performers turned full-time touring musicians. We don’t chase radio hits, we don’t write for others, we don’t wear fish bowls on our heads. We write songs, we perform them, we laugh as much as possible. We travel with a small beagle and a large cappuccino maker.
Our graphics designer asked us if we wanted a CD cover that would please our audience, or please us. We said us. He seemed distraught. We understand. We love him anyway.
Our radio promoter warned us that putting electric guitar and saxophone on the new CD would alienate some folk radio hosts. We felt that each song should be produced how we heard it when we wrote it. He was delighted. We love him.
Music promotion people say we are destined to fail. Fail? Worst case for us is we die having written a lot of songs we love without anyone having heard them. We don’t think that would have bothered Woody Guthrie, and it doesn’t worry us.
We do have a history that includes accolades, reviews, awards, successes (and failures) and other worthless opinions that usually show up in a glossy bio. We'll tell you how to get it, if you really want it. But who are we, really?<>
Life keeps going even if you fall and love is the truck that keeps you hitch hiking. This summer I try to put life back on the roadway plus tons of packing. My first plane ride by myself! Are you going to see Hunter soon?
Hey thanks for stopping by, love you folks spirit. When you record it always gets amplifed, is what I say. Keep up the great work, today I get to ask the city How loud can we play? Who knows the answer to that one I don't know.
