They have a combined 50 years experience in the music business and have been playing as a well-oiled (greasy?) unit for six years in the southwest Florida area. 

Ranging from rock to hip-hop,they play the acoustic styles that gave birth to the electric American music heard today.

     Frank has been playing blues since high school (is now in his late fifties), put the blue in bluegrass from1967 through 1975 in the first "new grass" band, the New Deal String Band, and has played and sung lead in various rhythm and blues bands in his native North Carolina including Count Flambeaux and the Lunatones, No Count, Six and 7/8 and Big Slinky and a World of Trouble.  He plays mandolin, guitar, slide guitar and lead and harmony vocals.

Paul, from Syracuse, N.Y. has played and sung in various bands, including The Kingsnakes, Little Georgie and the Shuffling Hungarians, and Doctor Root's Medicine Show, and toured with John Lee Hooker and Earl King.  Paul plays guitar, bass, slide guitar, and sings lead. The two met three years ago at the Punta Gorda "guitar army" which drills every Thursday night at Gilchrist Park in Punta Gorda and have played local watering holes from Naples to Sarasota. They have also played the Low Country Blues Bash in Charleston S.C. and the House of Blues in Orlando, and currently play the third Tuesday at the World Famous Buckinham Blues Bar.

The material ranges from legends like Charlie Patton, Jim Jackson, Tommy Johnson, Robert Johnson,  and Muddy Waters to originals.  The songs are from many eras and writers,, but selected to fit the musical styles of the Delta and Piedmont. The tunes on this CD refer back to the days when blues was lively dance music, lusty and vigorous.  We think it has relevance in this synthesized, processed world.
