A fun filled weekend of Aug 16 and 17th 2013.

The Friday evening old fashioned Barn Dance with waltz, polka, shadish and even the Hokey Pokey.  The band is mostly one family who were having a family reunion.  We know Bob on the accordion from our Blue Grass Jams.    He is in his 80's and very talented.  

 Just watch these people  kick up their heals and dance.

THE LIVE BAND

The Barn Dance started at 7:30 and was to last until 10:30 PM.  Jeff and I left at 10:45 and they were still going strong.
We figured when the band played  "GOODNIGHT IRENE, GOODNIGHT"  it was a hint that people should start winding down.  It was a very fun evening, we were happy to have been invited.  We even danced a couple dances.   

SATURDAY evening we enjoyed a concert of the "RED HEAD EXPRESS"  and the WALKER BROTHERS.  Actually this is the Walker family,  the four older girls are the Red Head Express and the three younger boys are the Walker Brothers.   So it is a very musically talented family of Nine.  Yes, even the mother and father sing.

 The Redhead Express,  four sisters.   the oldest is the guitar, next oldest is on banjo, third is on violin 

and the youngest plays the bass. 

 Most of the family only without the two boys.  They did all sing together but I did not get a picture. 
 You can see more on this talented family at www.walkerfamilyband.com or at www.redheadexpress.com

 This is mom Walker.  She also sings but mostly 
left the singing up to their children.

 This is the dad Walker,  he has a very good voice and was singing "THE LONG BLACK TRAIN" 

 The Walker Brothers.  

Dueling banjo's.

The "CUP" song  You'r going to miss me when I'm gone.  

This was the popular song that all the young kids and teenagers are into right now.  The "CUP" song.  She did quite well and all the songs were done very well.  I would certainly recoment seeing this family if they come to your area.  Very sweet talented  family!
