Trav majored in cultural anthropology and musicology at the U. of Arizona. He was extremely knowledgeable about Mexican and Latin American music.

Bud and Travis were highly musical with good voices and commanding stage presentation.
Trav cut his teeth as a stand-up comedian at one time.

They were also fun to jam with when I sat in with them at the Gate of Horn in Chicago.
They played nylon string guitars as do many Mexican and Latino musicians.

They also enjoyed excursions into jazz and worked with a bass player named "Buckwheat".

They had an unfortunate break-up which I had the misfortune to witness.

The two personalities were opposite in values and temperament but their music worked
so well together.

My faves were "Florecita de la Cielo" from Paraguay and "Amor de la Caille" from Mexico.

They did other languages as well. The "Framboise" song, "Rasberries, Strawberries"
and some show tunes such as "I Talk To The Trees" and "They Call The Wind Mariah" from Paint Your Wagon.

They were musical, versatile, accomplished singers and players and never had a
"single" hit recording though they worked posh night clubs like the St. Regis Roof
in New York. They had an enthusiastic following.

I'm glad their music is being recognized.
