Howdy Friends!
Wow, what a year it has been! As we enter the holiday season, we want to say "Thank You" to all of you who have supported us and our music throughout this year. As many of you know, this one has been tough for us. We've suffered the loss of Kendra's mom, Martha Ward, as well as the loss of our dear feline companion, Pepper. We've been burglarized and are still dealing with the absence of both of our laptop computers. Yep, it has been an interesting year, and we are extremely thankful for all of you who have helped us make it through the tough times!
Of course, it hasn't all been bad. Lots of great things happened this year too! We played a ton of new festivals and other venues, and made lots of new friends! The CD project we did with our old friend Michael Allen (he of the fabulous ~Cloud Nine~ Hammered Dulcimers) titled "Rides Again!" has been a big success, and we're anxious to get back in and record another one! If you haven't checked out all the details, be sure to head on over to the Rides Again! page and take a look! (It would make a great Christmas gift!)
But even with all that, maybe the most unexpected thing for us this year has been the launch of our new case division! And it's pretty much Michael Allen's fault! In case you didn't know (yes, then pun was intentional) Michael has been producing a super-cool instrument called a marimbula.) These marimbulas sounds so much like an upright bass that you won't beleive your ears! That's a good thing. The bad thing has been the complete lack of a professional-quality case to haul it around in! Well, we fixed that! We are proud to announce that we are now making an extremely high-quality case specially designed for the ~Cloud Nine~ marimbula! That picture over there on the left side of your screen only gives you the basic idea. You should definitely click over to our new Marimbula Case page for more pictures and all the details!
Well that's it for now! We hope you have a great holiday season, and we'll see you out on the road and back here again soon!
