A Stitch In Time was formed by accident about 2 years ago when we were put on stage together by chance at a gathering at the Montgomery County Fair Grounds. We were hired at that event to play at a Civil War Battle Reenactment in Hot Springs. That gig led to another, and another, and finally to where we are now. The members of the group are: Marianne Siller - vocals, guitar, mandolin, harmonica, and jaw harp--Phyllis Ryle -vocals, fiddle, guitar, and spoons--and, Bob Nation - fiddle.
Our group has two basic purposes. First, we just want to have fun playing music. Second, we want to promote old time accoustic music.
We hope you enjoy what we do, and we look forward to hearing from you.

Why this name?
We play timeless acoustic music of America. In addition to old-time music that has withstood the test of time, we also play more recent music that has a timeless quality. "A Stitch In Time" is a play on words that speaks to the urgency of preserving this great music, while denoting that our music spans a broad time period.
Do you play live?
We play live at Civil War Reenactments in Central and Western Arkansas, and are available for reenactments and other gatherings where old time accoustic music is appropriate.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet and mp3's have made more music available to more people. Small groups like ours can now promote their music in a way that was never before available. I think this is a good thing for both musicians and listeners.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
A major label recording contract is something we have never considered. I have learned that I should never say never, but it is very unlikely that the opportunity will arise.
Band History:
A Stitch In Time has performed at Battle Reenactments at the Garland County Fair Grounds (2004) and Lake Catherine State Park near Hot Springs, Arkansas (2005). We are scheduled to play at a Battle reenactment at Lake DeGray State Park the last week in October, 2005.
Your influences?
Our style of music is based on the kind of music I grew up with. We all really like accoustic music and old time music. Those old tunes seem to have more character.
Favorite spot?
We all really like Mt Ida, Arkansas. A comfrotable place to be that has music on the Square every Saturday.
Equipment used:
Our instruments are primarily hand made by individuals in Arkansas and Texas.
Anything else...?
We just love Old Time Accoustic music and hope you do to. We are glad for this opportunity to share it with you.
