Coffee House Jamming part 2

Somebody asked us about our singing Saturday night...

What kind of coffee house is this?? What kind of music do you sing?

This is the Barnabas Christian CoffeeHouse in Chippewa Falls. Situated in the heart of Chippewa Falls, it reaches out to the needy, and those seeking for more than what the bars have to offer.

Our music is Southern Gospel mixed with Bluegrass. You couldn’t call us professionals since we seem to take our living room and it’s atmosphere up on stage with us. I’m not sure if we could play or sing a song the same way twice. Though Dad did make a list of songs to sing and play, it was more like jamming up there than anything, especially when the list was forgotten as the audience started hollering out their favorites.

I guess a video clip would be just the thing to give you a chance to hear us. Wouldn’t you know, the rousing rendition of "At Calvary" starring Toby Nelson on the harmonica was documented in movie format.

Blonde Joke

There was this blonde girl driving a snow mobile in the field, and this cop pulled up. He said, “Why are you driving the snow mobile? There’s not even snow!”

She said, “There is to snow! Look all around you!”

The cop said, “There is not snow!”

She said, “Kneel down then!”

The cop said, “I don’t see a thing of snow!”

The blonde said, “I guess there isn’t any snow. Why do cops have to bug blondes?”

Coffee House Jamming

We were asked to sing at the coffeehouse this past weekend. Here's a few shots of our time on stage...
Toby's harmonica was the star of the night. Two songs were not enough.

Levi accompanied on the bass guitar.

All together now:

My favorite little percussionist:
