The Framus Brothers
The Framus Brothers
Bill Robinson and Kenny Wilson are The Framus Brothers -- naming themselves after their Framus guitars (6- and 12-string) which they played when they first teamed up in the early '70s while in high school. They played their own songs which were influenced by the Beatles and the singer-songwriter legends of the '60s and '70s. They had the usual dreams of scoring a big record contract and even had a few shots at in NYC. But mostly they gigged around the coffee houses and small clubs in the Washington, DC area. They wrote over 100 songs during their 5-6 years of playing music. Bill and Kenny went their separate ways by the late '70s but remained friends and played music together occasionally. In 2007, they released "A Friend's Answer" containing 13 of Bill's songs, many of which were written "in the beginning". They hope you enjoy this sampling and can hear all the songs on the entire album at their web site www.framusbrothers.com. Thanks!
