The Smart Brothers' Variety Show

About Me



in a field grows a tree, on whose branches grow acoustic guitars- meanwhile three students of the sacred folk arts, Lou, Micky, and Jay Smart sit meditating in the shade by the roots of the magical tree’s towering branches...guided by the vibrant voices of those souls of the faithful transcendent travelers who followed the eternal song’s notes beyond the mortal bounds of this world, the three blood brothers by the trunk of the tree reach up into the leaves above and pluck one golden guitar each from amidst the bountiful harvest of ripe instruments humming in the wind...and the song continues...
