Thread Name: Cumberland Trio Re-union CD
Subject: RE: Cumberland Trio Re-union CD
I was just surfing last night on the internet when I ran across the Cumberland Trio website.   I sat and listened to their 2 hour interview with Ron Olesko on his Traditions show a couple years ago. It was a great story and they were and are a great group. I have found that a couple members of the group are in nearby Chattanooga Tennessee so I have contacted them about getting together and playing some music since my group, The Brookwoods have a similar story, beginning in 1963 and reforming after 37 years with all the original members except me on upright bass.

I know this is not everyone's cup of tea musically but I thought the story was great, the passion for the music is still there, the musical expertise is outstanding and i would encourage you to listen to it on ROns's Show archives. These guys lived the Mighty WInd story minus all the silliness.
