It has been a busy few months for us with a photo trip to the Southwest (stuffing our little car with big old cameras and cases of film holders), and music work! In prep for upcoming shows, we’re practicing up songs long overdue for attention. We’ve enjoyed playing a few at Victory Music zoom open mics this year. Last night Bill played his “May Day ’71” song which is personal, historical, and timely. Kathy played “Papa’s in the Corn Field” which , according to a listener, has a really old feel in the vein of Clarence Ashley. We’ve also added some new videos to our Youtube Channel. We’d love to hear from you if you’d like to book us for a show, and as always, thanks for checking in! Bill & Kathy
