Many thanks to all who helped make our 2014 Southwest Tour a success!
To our friends, old and new, who hosted us, the organizers of the FFOTM, AFTM, and Judy Muldawer, and all the music lovers and dancers who came out to see us!
The best quote of the trip, from an enthusiastic dancer at our Flagstaff house Concert:
"You were throwing it down, and I was finding my groove!"
Big thanks also to our bandmates for the trip, for their music and friendship. Hilary Dirlam is such a fine musician, and hats off to Scott for being our fearless driver!

DONE GONE ~ BUT SO MUCH FUN!
2018:
We were honored for Betty to be featured at the Festival of American Fiddle Tunes, in Port Townsend, Washington! This was a festival she had attended twice in the '80's, and had always hoped to return. We enjoyed every minute, and were welcomed and treated warmly by all!
We also enjoyed several festivals, including the Fraley Festival at Carter Caves State Park in Kentucky. And we had fun perfromances closer to home at Mt. Airy's Autumn Leaves Festival, and the Blue Ridge Back Roads radio show at the Rex Theater in Galax, VA.
