It has been a great year. As you can see things are winding down for the year. Let us know if you would like to have a private party over the upcoming holidays. We have performed over 60 times this year and we are going to enjoy a more relaxed winter and take some time to ski and reconnect with family. Thanks for all of your patronage and interest in our band this year. We love performing and we love meeting our listeners. Remember LeRoy teaches banjo lessons. If you are interested please call me at 541-923-6946. We also have many CDs that would make good gifts.
