I have to say, this group is amongst the tops of the musical discoveries I have made this summer. Beyond that is the touching story that can be found below with the link. You may not be able to tell by the name of the group, but they are what started as a local party band with an unusual twist for party bands, they all like bluegrass music. Yes, there are obviously some influences there from Celtic music, which saying that seems odd, as I am sure Jean Ritchie and others have said that bluegrass and mountain music can clearly trace back to Celtic origins. There is also the occasional smattering of blues, especially when Beth, whom I affectionately tell everyone is Mama Cass, is doing vocals.
I have so many things that I am wanting to write about her in the blog right now that I am almost shutting myself down with the thoughts running around here and there in my head. I thought this evening I would just run with some short little notes about things. Which is a good lead into the first thing I wish to bring to your attention, and of course, I have to do this as my favorite, a list.
