This song was the result of spending 3 months touring the Great Northern Plains in the dead of winter where we saw lots of white and many birds of prey sitting on fence posts. Even owls. Being from southern climes, we were sure we were going to die at any minute. The performance was captured at Greg West’s studio by our webms., Cheryl Colan, whose website is well worth checking out for sheer quirkiness. She’s a hoot.

This is a brief glimpse inside our favorite hang-out/venue/clubhouse, Big Bug Station…….Yavapai County’s Favorite Living Room! Come meet Mike Connors, proprietor, and take a gander at the old dance hall where we often perform. The stage is located under the “1902″ sign. The acoustics are scrumptious, the ambiance inviting and the company can’t be beat. This has become a gathering place for locals, a stop along the way to or from Prescott and Phoenix and a place to learn Tai Chi! Whodathunk it in our little town????

Bill Meldrum is the fabulous percussionist that accompanies most of our music, most notably on our “Big Sky Full O’ Dumb Stars” CD. His highly unpredictable, quirky rhythmic line on the “Juggling Feathers” track is my (Deb’s) most favorite part of the CD. I absolutely gasped with delight and laughed so hard I almost fell off my chair when I first heard it.
We love it when Bill can join us on stage, which doesn’t happen enough as far as we’re concerned.
So, Bill’s 40th birthday was on March 14th. All his friends met him with (what seemed like) gallons of Silly String, while his wife, Tracy, trumpeted him through the door. A fun night.

This is a look at our tour-dog, Yippy. She’s the best ever.
