Claustrophobia sets in. Your eyes crave
color; a sharp sliver of green promising to push itself
upward through the snow, the speck of a blood-red cardinal
sitting atop the highest of trees, a burst of brilliant
blue swallowed by thickening gray clouds. Your ears long
for the unordinary; the rush of waves, the chattering of
gulls, a choir of frogs and crickets singing a night picture.
Just to smell the grass growing or the hay mowing or to
feel the tightness of sunscorched skin seems impossible!
Windows are thrown open. Mudcrusted rugs shaken. Seed catalogs
held sacred. Arms, legs, whole bodies are stretched toward
the sun begging release from the dreaded CABIN FEVER!
The band has been together for 20 years
and enjoy playing all over Northern MI, most
often in Leelanau county and the Grand Traverse area. In
year 2002 we were voted "Best Folk Band of the North"
by Northern Express readers and recognition for our web
site last year by the same magazine reader survey. There
are several magazine and newspaper articles about the band
on the web
site and examples from our two CDs.
