Larry and I began making music together in 2007 when we met on the stage at The New Delhi Cafe in downtown Eureka Springs, AR. I can remember that evening so well, because it was truly Divine. The sky was every color of the rainbow because there was a storm going and one coming, the temperature was perfect, the breeze was blowing and everyone there that night was in a trance from the music they were a witness to, including those of us playing. I had never met Larry before that night. It was just myself and a drummer, and the drummer invited Larry to come up and play with us. When he started strumming and picking the songs came alive. After that evening Larry gave me his number and said I should call him the next time I needed a guitar player. I lost the number, it was a few months before I ran into him again, got his number again, and lost it AGAIN!!! Time went by and finally one day we crossed paths at the post office, this time I grabbed a hold of him and didn't let go. I found out later that he was on his way to Canada, but decided to stay after running into me that day. We immediatly began writing songs together, making plans to tour, playing music everyday, and a few months later said "I do". Soon after the small front porch cabin wedding we packed our guitars and headed out to California on the Central Coast where we spent three months playing music on street corners, in coffee houses, subway stations, wineries, resorts, and one of our favorite musical venues "Monteleone's Rock" in Paso Robles.
After the honeymoon was over we moved back home to Eureka Springs and began finding new ways to make a living doing what we love to do. We had both spent a lot of time playing music at The New Delhi under different circumstances. The owners Bill and John had always told me that anytime the stage is open consider it mine. So, thats what we did. We started setting up in the afternoons any day of the week, putting a tip jar in front of the stage and playing for tips and food. When John saw we were drawing a consistent crowd we started getting paid for it. Bam! We created our own gig. There were times we'd start at noon and play til after midnight. We would often be joined by other musicians who happened along, including our friend Randy who was almost always there with us along with his keyboards. We have developed our style, songwriting, and music as a couple on that stage. People come from all over year after year to cheer us on and keep us going. We are so grateful to the loyal listeners who buy our CD's and support our musical habits. 75% of our financial living comes from tips and CD sales, so it is because of you that we can keep doing what we do. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
