Check out the "Sounds Like" blurb for more influences, though not nearly all, by any stretch!
Sounds LikeTraditional music from the Whitetop.Mt. Rogers area of southwestern Virginia, along with material from many other sources--older country, bluegrass, gospel, original material, wide range of old time influences such as G.B. Grayson, Arthur Smith, Skillet Lickers, Carters. Louvins, Molly O'Day, Coon Creek Girls, Hank Williams, Cousin Emmy, Stanleys etc. etc. Have been said to be a cross between Maddox Brothers and Rose and the Skillet Lickers. Hard core old time, but open minded. View Whitetop Mountain Band's EPK

I have had a Challenge from a person willing to make a Donation to Our Lighthouse Food Program

The person said that he would DONATE $1.
00 for ever person that Signed My Guest Book

I am asking that you PLEASE sign my Guest Book so that we can get as much as possible. It won't take but a few minutes of your time.

He has made one stipulation, the signatures has to have a picture. So please include your picture when signing the Guest Book. I have placed the guest book below to save you some time from having to load my page.

Thank you in advance for signing my Guest Book.

""A woman has strengths that amaze me, she can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens, she holds happiness, love and opinions, she smiles when she feels like screaming, she sings when she feels like crying, cries when shes happy, and laughs when shes afraid, her love is unconditional, theres only one thing wrong with her and that is that sometimes she forgets what she is worth." Pass this onto every beautiful woman you know, I just did.
xoxo"
