We consider the man who can fiddle all through one of those Virginia reels without losing his grip, may be depended upon in any kind of emergency.
—Mark Twain

Nothing is more beautiful than a guitar, except, possibly, two.
—Frederic Chopin

Ability to play the banjo soon places one in a social position to pick and choose from scores of social invitations. Everywhere, the banjoist is assured of a hearty welcome.
—from The Banjo, 1927


 

  


It's here! Our first album is called Another Jig Will Do, and we're very pleased with it.

Another Jig Will Do is a tasty collection of sweet and lively jigs and reels alternating with sedate and lovely slow airs and waltzes.

Order a copy at CDbaby or download single tracks at iTunes. You can hear track samples at both places. Enjoy! It's also available in the village of Mendocino at Gallery Bookshop on Main Street and at Icons gift shop on Lansing Street.
