People often ask us how we got started in our music ministry. It was an outgrowth of our experiences with bluegrass music. Why we got started in bluegrass music is still a mystery to us! We don't know what prompted us to attend our first bluegrass festival, but we were immediately attracted to this spirit-filled music. Attending bluegrass festivals and jams sparked our desire to play bluegrass music. At first Marilyn and our twin boys started playing bluegrass music together. Gary had never played an instrument in his life, but not wanting to be left out he figured he needed to get involved. Since the "family band" didn't have a bass, that was Gary's chosen instrument. We played together as a family at bluegrass jams and festivals. As we were drawn into the music we found ourselves playing more and more "gospel bluegrass". Then it happened! In 2002 God called us to share our gospel bluegrass music. We were not sure at first if this was a true calling, but soon we began to receive confirmations.
