I began my music career at a young age.  At seven years old I began taking piano lessons and have continued learning all types of music.  The piano background has enabled me to easily adapt to many instruments.  I was introduced to old time music and was infected with the bluegrass bug.  I try to learn from each person I play with and do my best to accompany them to make the music sound as good as possible.  I have been having fun entertaining people with corny jokes and bluegrass songs I’ve written over the past decade and I look forward to even bigger things to come.  - David

I became interested in bluegrass during the folk revival period of the early sixties.  As a young man, my relatives introduced me to banjo and guitar.  I and my brother Joe began playing together in high school.  I played banjo and Joe backed me up on guitar.  I played banjo sporadically until about 1986 when I decided to put serious effort into it.  I have an extensive family in which several people are accomplished musicians.  I learned to sing harmony by singing with my other family members. I have lots of fun whether on stage or just jamming with good friends. - Tom

I’ve been asked to write a few words about my musical background.  Well, then, here are just a few words...horsefeathers,cauliflower, and, lets see, encyclopedia!  You see, at this point in time, music is kind of a right-brain thing for me, and it’s hard to nail down on paper.  I was born into a musical family, and, so, always had an instrument of one sort or another in my hand, but it was never serious stuff, always just for fun.  I haven’t changed much in that regard.  I still love making neat noises, finding that juicy harmony, and I love it when the group hits that “gel point” when it all comes together.

When I was a little boy in school I didn’t even like music.  Then when I turned the age of sixteen, I discovered bluegrass.  People used to hold country barn dances and I would attend.  There was a guy at one of the dances that could really play the fiddle and it impressed me so much that I had to learn.  Once I heard that fiddle I was hooked and I have been a slave to the seductive mistress of bluegrass ever since.  Bluegrass is good wholesome family entertainment and I enjoy making music.  Remember, only bad people don’t like bluegrass! - Fred

I am known by most of his friends and acquaintances as Walt and I studied piano as a youth in San Pedro, California where my mother was a concert violinist.  I advanced to the Double Bass in Junior High School, and continued playing the bass for the remainder of my school career.  I have embarked on a fun-filled new musical career with the hope that my contribution to bluegrass music will be as much a joy to hear as it is to perform. - Walt

I’ve been singing since I was a little girl.  I played the violin for ten years and I was in the school choir.  I was chosen out of 800 students in the 9th grade to play 8th seat in a symphony where I was recorded on a record.  I started writing poetry in grade school and continued all through high school.  I continue to write and sing because it soothes my soul.  I am truly happiest in life when I can bring a smile to a face and soothe another soul.  I got into bluegrass because I like to stomp my feet and share a good time with others. - Diana (A.K.A.
