Stephanie, age 9, is a natural in front of a microphone. She is easily encouraged to sing for any audience, so we have been working on teaching her the words to some of our favorites.

About the Parents
Lawrence and Lisa
June, 2003
Lawrence and Lisa feel extremely blessed to be playing music with their children.  We know they won't be young for long, so we were so excited to complete our CD - a permanent reminder of the joys we have experienced as a family.  We hope that even when we are old and gray, we will get together and jam with our kids and grandkids!  Music is something to be enjoyed every day and throughout every season of life, and we know that whatever careers our children may be led to choose, their music will  always be a part of their lives.
Lawrence owns and operates a couple of dry cleaning businesses in Brenham, TX,   while Lisa enjoys homeschooling the children.  Our dream is to sell the businesses and travel for about a year, taking an educational field trip and hitting every bluegrass festival we can find in the process!
