For over a decade Suzanne and Jim have specialized in researching, discovering, and recreating the music from this "Golden Era" of Americana which they delight in presenting to you. A parody of "Oh! Susannah" composed from the perspective of a California gold rusher reflects the spirit of westward expansion. "Old Grimes"- whose wife made skim milk cheese- is a humorous sketch set within the framework of a description of cheese making. On Sundays, of course, only sacred music was allowed so a song like in the "In the Sweet Bye and Bye" offers a humble and moving reflection on the spiritual side of pioneer life. .
