Mark and Sally live in Conway with three of their six beautiful kids (the Brady Bunch). All kids play a musical instrument, but their 2 younger kids, Whitney and Kennedi, are carrying on the bluegrass tradition by learning to play guitar and fiddle. Mark was introduced to bluegrass after meeting and marrying Sally and loved it. Now he is a bluegrass junky. Sally has been singing with her sister, Susan, since she was 5 years old. They have sang in their dad's bluegrass bands throughout the years. Mark and Sally have written many of the songs on the band's "Challenger" CD. They enjoy camping, playing music and singing together. Sally recently was appointed to be the editor of the Arkansas Bluegrass Association Newsletter. If you would like to become a member and see what is going on in Arkansas Bluegrass, contact Sally through the band email. |
