In the Hot Summer months of 2000, three people met at Brushwood Folklore Center in New York, the home of the Sirius Rising and Starwood festivals. Among them were a singer, a vocalist, and a mandolin player. This father and son duo from Kansas combined with a single female vocalist from Missouri came together to form SONA. It was realized at once that these three had been searching for each other, and that the magick that was apparent between the three of them musically was rare.
Yeaaaaaah!
Let's do the Pagan Polka.
Okay I'm doing it right now.
:)
Glad to see Sona on here.
I finaly found some musicians to help me bring 'Take Me Home' to the glory that is was when we were playing it together. It just might make the Kent State Folk Festival Competition. Cross your fingers for us.
The old magick is back. Still don't have Bel's beautiful vocals on it, but we do have some nice harmonies. I never cared for the recording that was done with the other group last year. They just never embraced it. Papa Joe, you not only embraced it, you helped create the energy it now carries.
No matter who I do that song with now, playing it with Sona will always be the bench mark for me.
Love you guys!
