The soft scent of magnolia blossoms wafting gently on a southern breeze, the tart plunk of the banjo and one of Stephen Foster's favorite melodies "Hard Times Come Again No More", Suzanne and Jim have transported you back to America in the mid-1800's. You will hear the sentimental side of life during America's most turbulent trial. Songs they sang when solider and civilian wished to leave the strife behind: "O' Susannah", "Some Folks Do", "Rose of Alabama" and "When You and I were Young Maggie", the deeply felt but lighter side when the boys marched off. |
Suzanne and Jim have performed at a number of historical events and museums where they have been acclaimed.
"Your terrific act blended perfectly with the spirit...You love what you do. It shows. It makes everyone in an audience happy. You make us laugh, tap our toes, sing along, get involved, because we pick up on your spirit... As a history museum that is wanting to gently educate as we entertain folks at our special events, I highly recommend you two because you definitely know, and present, the real 19th century music folks were playing."

"We have had other music at previous events, but none that add as much to the friendly good time atmosphere as yours... The thousand + spectators who had come to sample the old-time crafts and living history displays got a real treat when they gathered around to see your shows - fun music, energetic dancing, good family humor, and above all solid showmanship... Our reenactors, some of whom are very choosy about the music they want at a civil war event, were delighted with your selection and variety of period tunes."
