Thread Name: Copper Family
Subject: RE: Copper Family
At the concert Saturday night, the Coppers had available a CD featuring, I believe, the current group: Bob (aged 82), his daughter Jill and son and son-in-law Jon and John. (Or is it John and Jon?)

They made mention that the NEXT generation of Coppers has taken up the singing tradition as well: 6 of Bob's grandchildren, aged 19 to 31 (or so), who sang at the National Folk Festival in England and on the BBC.

One of the grandchildren is going to music school, but we were re-assured that "it wouldn't get in the way of the music." :-)
