Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, basically any vocalist/writer that inspires me.... fiddle playing influences are: Carl Joyner(dad),Kenny Baker, Buddy Spicher; Bob Wills; Stuart Duncan; Rob Hajacos; Howdy Forrester; Tommy Jackson,Mark O'Connor....there are many of different styles that I admire and have learned from....
Sounds Like"The band's joy in playing together and their warm version of the high lonesome sound is reminiscent of Alison Krauss, or the more recent recordings of Dolly Parton. Wonderful stuff."-- The Nashville Scene Critics' Pick section "They have an easy-going sound, plenty of strong material, and a bold vocal blend that sounds a lot like Emmylou Harris' early acoustic projects." -- Craig Havighurst, The Tennessean

Hi Karen..I met you a few weeks back at John A's..I sang a couple songs and you and Shar sang harmonies..you all sounded so good! I bought one of your cd's and just want to tell you I have enjoyed it so very much and shared with friends here in Ohio and they love it also. Will bring them to see you when I can get them to Tennessee. I'll be back in town over the 4th..for a week..hope to see you sometime then.

Take care and looking forward to hearing you sing and play again, it was wonderful!

Karen...I attended Glen's guitar clinic on Saturday. Now, I can see---YOU are both great musicians! Looking forward to hearing you again. Sure wish that you could figure how to "free-up" "I'll Be There", on your music box, so that I could add it to my page for awhile. Take care, and keep on "sawing"!! HUUUUUUGGGGS....JIMPhotobucket

It was great being with you at "John A's" Saturday night. I'm sorry that we had to leave early. I had to go and visit my old "Boss", Melvin Tillis. He and I had a good talk about the sessions and shows that we once did together. However, he isn't as pretty as YOU...HA!..HA! You are a GREAT fiddler, and a beautiful singer! But, you also have that beautiful heart. All this is what gives you such a wonderful presence on stage. You really "deliver" to your audience! Keep it up girl! Best wishes always! God Bless!....JIMPhotobucket
