HOWDY BUCKAROOS

We’re a real xenophobic band of yahoos, especially in these security conscious times. We’re gonna break a vow of silence here and put a contact number or two out to you, but we’re counting on you NOT to divulge this information to our ex-spouses, the IRS and the rest of a surveillance happy government. We know you won’t let us down.

If you’re wanting to book the band, call us at 360-387-6623 or daddle@verizon.net If you want to buy a CD, check out the info we got under Crass Capitalism.  (We always advise our few fans to Shop Loco.)  If you want to make a complaint, call our 24 hour hotline: 360-I Hate Banjo.

So the Band is more than a musical icon. More even than a Juggernaut of Social Conscience. More than a bastion of fiscal sanity in these spend- but- don’t- tax times. We are the keepers of the fiddle flames. The historians of the South End Chronicles. Think of us as the South End Chamber of Commerce and the Chapel of Common Sense combinedLet’s take a minute or two to introduce our entourage of minstrels here. We usually just pass out resumes and run for the exits, but tonight we’re gonna take some risks.  

.Wende Hilyard’s our percussion, pennywhistle and vocals.

Monika DeNasha’s our 5 string banjo and six string guitar and jawharpist.

Paul Platis is on 6 string guitar too. About 3 or 4 of em. 


Chaim Bezalel’s on autoharp and an ancient 6 string guitar plus a new ukelele.

Bill Gum’s on the standup bass fiddle. 

 

Don Myrdal’s our mandolin man.

 

Erich Schweiger’s our concert violinist. He makes em too, that and cellos.
