Band News:
We are sad to report that founding member Jean Snyder retired after our show at the Young's UM Classic Car Show on September 29, 2018. Jean played bass and hammered dulcimer and sang lead and harmony vocals since our beginning in January of 2010. Always cheerful, happy, and delightful, she was a wonderful part of our band and will certainly be missed. Of course, she is a fixture on all 6 of our current CDs so you can continue to remember her by buying a couple of them.
As we move forward in Jean's absence, Goldie will become our full time bass player and we will trust the Lord to either provide us with a suitable replacement or lead us into the future as a trio. Please be assured that all of our future scheduled programs will be performed with the same level of expertise, precision, and harmonies you have come to love and expect from us. If you see Jean out and about, wish her well and thank her for all her years of excellent public performances.
