My background is basically southern WASP. My grandfather in western Oklahoma was known for his harmonica playing and sang his own songs. His wife, my grandmother, was english with 1/8 Native American. Her Nat. Am. branch of th family came to OK from New York state as travelling piano teachers, hauling their pianos in a wagon pulled with mules. My dad's family lives in Georgia with some relatives in North Carolina. His name is Stipe: Dutch-german with some English and Irish thrown in. So thats my known "musical" geneology.
