OK. Welcome to our Myspace page, aka "Ourspace." You can find out the whole history of my recording and playing career by visiting our website, www.laurielewis.com. So I just thought that, rather than repeat all that stuff here, I'd tell you some other stuff about us. For instance, I like walking just about as much as I like music. I think that I'd have been happy with a career as a walker, provided I could choose where I had to point my feet for eight hours a day, and could sing along the way.
Tom Rozum likes to draw, and he could probably have had some sort of career as an artist, if he'd just stop spending all his time obsessing about mandolins. But I guess that's what has made him the player he is. So that's good.
Todd Phillips is is the best person I've met at setting up a string bass. Somehow, he makes the fingerboard just right so that it produces the nicest growl. It takes him a long time to get it right, but when it IS right, well then you really have something fine, and I am addicted to that particular thump at my back.
Craig Smith is known as The Commodore of the banjo, but we don't know why. I think it's because nobody else was using that title,but maybe there's a deeper significance. Anyway, he's pretty-much "the best they is." Since he discovered the cooking channel a few years back, he's become quite the chef.
Scott Huffman is kind-of a Renaissance Man, and, within the band at least, voted the most valuable person to be stuck out in the woods with. He can find things on the ground that the rest of us just tromped over and never saw. That's why one of his many nicknames is Scout. He likes to play golf, hunt, fish, draw, and talk story.
Thanks for listening!

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
Today I like to inform you, that you can read and watch interviews with your favorit country stars in Enlgish, German and French at http://www.CountryHome.de/Interviews .

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
