A bit off topic, but here is a picture and an article about a recent reunion performance by the Browns. Maxine and Bonnie both retired and came back home to Arkansas at an early age. Jim Ed continues in the music business to this day.

Maxine recently had a well received book published about their music careers. I have not read it yet ~~ it is still on my to do list, but I rather imagine that The Three Bells occupies a prominent place in the book.

More trivia, Bonnie Brown Ring's daughter Kelly is a TV news anchor in Tampa, FL.
