Happy News!

Let's wish them all the best!

In some ways, this is just an opportunity to refresh this thread and give a plug for The Johnson Girls and their recordings, but I have a question:

Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin did a wonderful job singing gospel and old-time music as the "Johnson Girls" in the Prairie Home Companion movie. The end credits thanked The Johnson Girls for the use of their name in the movie. Is that "our" Johnson Girls they were thanking, or is there another group with that name?

It was our J-Girls. I was talking to Joy earlier this year, and she told me they were asked permission.

I wonder if they're related to the ol' Johnson Boys?

Cheerily,

no relation to the Johnson Boys

And yes, the credit for the PHC movie is for us -- they had to get our permission to use the name. We even attended the NYC Premiere and after party- it was great!

The whole story is long, so I won't bore anyone with the details here, but if anyone really wants to know - PM me.

By the way, we are working on a new CD - #3 - out sometime in 2008 - g-d willin' and the creek don't rise...

I am a big fan of the Johnson Girls and have all three of their CDs. Rumor has it that they may be getting ready to make a fourth. I hope it happens!
