Stephanie: singing and strumming Rachael: singing, humming, finger snapping and occasional knee slapping
Influences
a glass of red wine at the end of a long day
insomnia
small towns
big cities
hunger
the edge of a sharp knife
love lost
love found
brain fever
a circle of quiet
paris at night
knee socks
the sting of sea air on a cold day
butler the dog
the musky smell of an old book
teeth marks
the sort of creativity that is born only in poverty
popcorn drenched in brewers yeast
the ones who don't run away
free (and stolen) souvenirs
long warm scarves
cold fingers wrapped around a mug of hot tea
taking a spin around the kitchen when the bee gees come on
an honest smile
sunday finally coming to an end
songs that make you ache all over
a clean well lighted place
a paint brush full of paint
the right word on the tip of your tongue
mud pies and roller skates,
Sounds Like
"Listening to this album is like putting on an old friend. Magical music of the highest possible quality." — Maverick Magazine
"The Larson Sisters" lyric's and vocals coupled with the brilliant, yet subtle hand of Ric Hordinski in the control booth is a perfect match. Add Ric's masterful guitar work, Josh Seurkamp's amazing drum work and you get this, one damn fine record. I have recommended and played "Housewives and Butcher Knives" to several friends, every one has been blown away by it. And if you don't believe me...just listen for yourself." — Bill
"Housewives and Butcher Knives, by sisters Rachael and Stephanie Larson, is a wonderful little cd. Strong songwriting and beautiful harmonies combine with Ric Hordinski's deft production to bring the listener along a dark, emotional journey where we feel the sadness of life, yet are reassured that there are good people to help us live through it." — Steve

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..?
