Some of my earliest memories revolve around the art of "making music". I was blessed to grow up in a musical family where it seemed someone was always pickin' & grinnin' in the kitchen. At a young age I remember falling asleep to the sounds of guitars, mandolins, and high lonesome tenors.  (I'm the little girl in the photo)

                                                                                    

As an adult I treasure the tradition of music and pass it along to my children. I hope you enjoy the Pickin' & Grinnin' spots I feature.

If you enjoy the following videos and would like to see newer ones or would like to read the stories behind the songs we choose click here.

Before you start a video-first go to the radio and pause it by clicking the  "round button" in the middle under the title. You need to do this-so you can hear the video.
