Thread Name: Lyr Add: parodies sung by Homer and Jethro
Subject: RE: Homer and Jethro
I remember, in the 70's, walking in to a Ramada Inn in South Bend, Indiana, to hear a band called "The Wright Brothers Overland Stage Company" who were from French Lick, IN. Out in the hallway, was a smallish man tuning up and playing some wonderful licks on a mandolin. We had marvelous conversation and went for coffee and talked some more, all the while the band was waiting for him to come up and do a guest performance! That was the night I first met Jethro Burns and he was a very warm and funny man...I'll never forget him.
