How Music Made a Family
John, Jake, Slim and I met at the Stone City General Store in October 2011. It was "love at first fiddle tune." They asked me to sit in with them that very day, and after the set asked me if I'd gig with them regularly. I said yes. The more we played the more we became a family. One day at the General Store open mic, John said he signed us up as Aunt G and the Stone City Nephews. And the rest is history . . .
