About Me

IT WAS WAY BACK IN 1998, WHILE WORKIN' AT THE LIL' FAM'LY DISTILLERY CAREFULLY HIDDEN AWAY IN THE BAYOUS OF THE SOUTHWEST, THAT THE CUVELIER FAMILY REALISED, LISTENIN' TO THE TINY HOUSE RADIO AT SUPPER TIME, THAT THE SONGS AIRED SOUNDED STRANGELY LIKE THE ONES THEY HAD BEEN PLAYIN' 'N' SINGIN' FOR AGES EVERY SATURDAY NITE AT THE WEEKLY FAIS DO-DO 'N' EVERY SUNDAY MORNIN'AT CHURCH. ENRAGED, THREE OF 'EM COUSINS GRABBED THEIR BANJO, MANDOLIN, DOUBLE BASS, GUITAR 'N' SQUEEZE BOX, LEFT THEIR JOB AT THE STILL AND HIT THE ROAD, AIMIN' TO SHOW THE WHOLE WORLD THE REAL ORIGINALS OF THE LAST FIFTY YEARS' BIGGEST HITS, SUCH AS "STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN", "ENTER SANDMAN", "STAYING ALIVE", "ANARCHY IN THE U.K.", ... WITH A BIBLE 'N' A COUPLE OF BOTTLES OF UNCLE CHANEY'S HOMEMADE LIQUOR IN THEIR SUITCASE, HERE THEY GO, BOUND TO GET EVEN WITH THE SHOW BUSINESS. THE TASK IS HARD, AND THE WORLD HAS CONSIDERABLY CHANGED, BUT THE THREE FELLAS ARE DETERMINED 'N' PLAY THEIR MUSIC EVERYWHERE THEIR WHEELS 'LL TAKE 'EM. BY THE WAY, IF YOU HAPPEN TO SEE 'EM, PLEASE REMIND 'EM TO BRING BACK THE DELIVERY TRUCK... You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !

Sounds Like: A rickety ol' wheelbarrow, loaded like there's no tomorrow with discarted appliances spare parts and a rapidly dismantled still, driven like hell by three drunken weedfreaks on acid, each tryin' to go his own way, rollin' like ligntnin' down a dimly lit cobblestone back alley on a stormy night, tryin' to escape the revenuers, under the pourin' rain (full moon optional). I reckon we'd like to think it sounds like bluegrass.
