Here is a little musical Christmas treat for you! A Bluegrass Christmas Medley
RIBA (Rhode Island Bluegrass Alliance) inducted Jim and Sharon into the RIBA Bluegrass Hall of Fame this past April.
This is quite an honor, and a tremendous way to kick off the band's 41st anniversary!
Here are some brand new YouTube videos from our recent Cable TV appearance on "502 Sessions"
in Dedham, MA. 502 Sessions features bands playing their own original material. These are all
originals (except for "Children Go Where I Send Thee", which is a traditional song with our own arrangement).
Carolina Lightning
Do You Know
Just a Little Man
Tractor Pull
I didn't ask
Field Of Glory
Last Leg Home
Voices In the Wind
My Old Friends
Walk Your Way To Heaven
Chidren Go Where I Send Thee

Saturday's show at the LINDEN TREE COFFEEHOUSE in Wakefield, MA is

waiting list for seats. Just send an email to lindentree85@comcast.net,
and be sure to leave your phone number. Folks on the waiting list will be
called if a seat opens up!
The biggest limiting factor in the hall is the number of chairs they have.
Folks on the waiting list who can bring their own folding chair will have a
good chance of getting in. So, send an email to get on the wait list and
please tell them if you can bring a chair. (11 years ago we put 30 chairs
onstage BEHIND us! ) It's going to be a wild night!!
