That's larapin' good!®

About Me

Granny and her Chicken Pen Pickers have been appearing on the Frank Lee Sprague Radio Hour for years. Granny herself likes to tell stories about old Wichita Falls during the depression. These are ALL TRUE stories of course! Tellin' about her memories of the town and the folks there is what sets her apart from the mythological characters like "the Beverly Hillbillies", the "Dukes of Hazzard", the "Hee Haw" cast, etc. She can be heard tellin' her beloved stories every week on the Frank Lee Sprague Radio Hour broadcast on NetRadio100 (Mondays at 9 Eastern time).Now you all know that Granny loves Bluegrass and Hillbilly music, so she got together with all her friends at her henhouse (yup, she really has a henhouse and chickens...how Granny loves those chickens; she calls 'em her "babies") and started recordin' songs right there in the Chicken Pen! She has been workin' on her album for over a year (all original Bluegrass and Hillybilly songs!) and will be releasing it soon. But first up is her release of the best stories collected from her appearances on Frank's Radio show. Be sure and check out "Granny's Henhouse, the LP" and then keep an ear out for her all music album cause it's gonna be a ripsnortin' good time!Accept no substitues or cheap imitators! Granny and her stories, along with her all original henhouse songs with her "roof raisin'" musicians are true Americana...all original, all true, that's from Granny to you!
