We play old-time music mostly from the southern Appalachian mountains. We perform and preserve the traditional tunes and songs, while at the same time making them our own. We play for square dances, contra dances, concerts, and other events. We've got some recordings out there which you can check out by going to our web site.

HELP PUT THE STANLEY BROTHERS IN THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME!
Ralph Stanley has received many well-deserved honors in the last few years, yet one honor eludes him. While many of their fellow musicians and singers have been recognized by The Country Music Hall of Fame, THE STANLEY BROTHERS have been sadly -- some say criminally -- overlooked.
Jeanie Stanley, youngest daugher of Carter, and fan Kaye Hill have organized an on-going petition to change all that.
"The Country Music Hall of Fame recognizes those persons who have made a significant contribution to the country music field," says Hill. "The Stanley Brothers helped lay the foundation for what we have today. Their names deserve to be listed among greats like Bill Monroe and Flatt & Scruggs, who have already be recognized."
You can join their efforts in one of the following ways:
Contact the CMHoF directly:
Mr. Kyle Young, President
Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum
222 Fifth Avenue South
Nashville TN 37203
Or, if you prefer, you can send a letter to Kaye Hill, who will forward them to the HoF.
D. Kaye Hill
PO Box 2553

Kay says, "a simple one-line note is all that would be required, but please remember to supply your name and address, and an email address if applicable. I will be collecting all letters and forwarding them to the Country Music Hall of Fame."

Thank you for finding us. Your guitarplayer, Greg, is our friend allready.
You sound great. We seem to have some common interests. We love the old time tradition as much as you do, even though we're sitting in the flat land of Denmark, and try to recreate the music of the mountains
Welcome to the space... we'll miss y'all at folk college this year... it was so nice to have some quality OT up in the mix... thanks for looking us up and we'll see you at clifftop if not before!
Who have thought all of us back to the woods musicians would be networking and dorking out on myspace?! Welcome, and hope to get a tune in with y'all if I ever get a break from ragtime jugband madness!
