The Country Cousins at the Pavillion in Wauchula FL on Saturday. It earned the nickname "Pickle Town" because of the large cucumber facility there. The town was celebrating its 100th anniversary, and the children decided to dress as pioneers for the occasion. This part of Florida is still very rural, with ranches and groves everywhere. The children performed well and blessed the crowd. It was a very pleasant day.
From left: Daniel, dobro-learner; Callie, dobro; in back, Matthew, guitar; Gracie, mandolin; Mary, fiddle; Sarah Beth, fiddle. Callie and Gracie also play fiddle, and Sarah also plays about anything she wants to, as well as writes some very precious songs. Callie, Gracie, and Sarah have done vocals in the past and are working on more confidence in that area.
Peter, banjo man; Kitty, lead guitar; RG, bass fiddle. Peter is also teaching himself guitar and plays the fiddle (when forced to!). Kitty plays the violin for church and is teaching herself piano. RG, like Sarah, plays about anything he wants to. He is a great "scrub" fiddler (think "Orange Blossom Special") while Sarah is our "finesse" fiddler (think "Ashoken Farewell") RG has also become pretty proficient on guitar.
Little Cousins Margaret Anne, Rosie, and Rachel wait patiently to sing their cowboy songs.
Little Cousins Benny, Markie, Abby, Margaret Anne, Rosie, and Rachel love to sing "Happy Trails" and "Faith, Hope, and Charity". Markie does some yodeling in "Cowboy Sweetheart" and Abby does a beautiful solo of "You're the Only Star in My Blue Heaven". Saturday was Margaret Anne's debut as a soloist on "Oh, Susannah!"

How fun, Bonnie. I can't wait to hear the 'rough cut' CD. Adorable costumes, too! Our boys enjoy singing Roy Rogers songs as a duet.
Ohhh, what fun! I can almost hear them singing from here :-)
Blessings,
