Our latest CD is now out! We continue to feel blessed to have Jody King so masterfully record, produce, and engineer our CDs at his After 5 Studio in Ararat Virginia. He also plays banjo wonderfully well on: "Mama Loved the Redbirds", "Just as Long as You Love Me", "Red Clay Halo", "It's Alright", and "Evelina." Cheri Williams has done the outstanding photography for this CD. Bill is playing a carved bass he made and a VA-OM east Indian rosewood and torrified spruce top guitar he made in 2016. Maggie continues to play the sweet sapele dobro Bill made for her years ago. Jody is playing a unique banjo of his design and construction.
