Album Notes

Here's the complete first hour of this wonderful old time band as it was performed on January 7, 2005 in the historic Rex Theater in Galax, Virginia. Come join in the fun and listen to the hilarious intros, jokes and great songs as this band performs in old-time costume to a roaring full house. Ever hear a wash tub bass play the boogie-woogie? Ever hear a clawhammer and bluegrass banjo play together? Ever hear the William Tell Overture played on a cell phone during a concert? Well, you'll hear it all and with no 2 second breaks between tracks as this wonderfully entertaining group of artists give you a historic musical tour of their little mountain home town in Oriskany, Virginia. And not only does this band play and sing well, they write some of their own songs. You'll love them!
