I do not know how many of you are familiar with these folks,
but Jimmy and Nancy (Hawks and Eagles) have been performing
together for many years and have played at many festivals,
dances and programs at museums and classrooms, so you may
have seen them. Jimmy has beren Nevada State Fiddle Champion,
and Nancy is an incredible fiddler, as well.
They call their music "Cowboy Gypsy Music"
and here is their web site
