Right now it is just me. And sometimes Cora.
Here is Cora singing "I want to be a Cowboy's Sweetheart"

Born and raised in Southern New Mexico, Laurie Wood began playing guitar when she was sixteen. After playing in “at least a dozen” different country bands over as many years she grew disillusioned with the music and the lifestyle, finally quitting music altogether. Now, more than 15 years later, Laurie has felt the call to dust off her guitar, and is playing the music that she really loves. She says she played “Top Forty” Country for money, but it was always Western music and Cowboy songs that she played for friends, family, and herself. She calls Wyoming home these days, along with husband Duane, who is the cow/calf manager on CSU’s One Bar Eleven ranch near Encampment. They have two children, Cora Rose, 6 (who you will often see on stage with Laurie), and Bonner, 3.
Laurie has performed at the Sagebrush Cowboyography Poetry and Music Gathering in Sheridan, WY; the Grand Encampment Cowboy Gathering in Encampment, WY; the Riverton, WY Cowboy Roundup; and the Durango Cowboy Gathering in Durango, CO. She is a member of the Cowboy Poets of the Wind River, Treasurer for the Grand Encampment Cowboy Gathering Outfit, and President of the Snowy Range Cattle Women.
I am an indie film actor in Denver, and have the lead role in a new western called "The Tarryall." It will be released in 2010, starting with the film festival circuit. Go to myspace.com/thetarryall and become a fan.
