From Gary Gordon

By the winter of '74 Roberta and I had begun performing together, mostly duets. Sometimes we'd pick with Gordon Wilfong who we had met soon after his discharge from the army. Most weeks we played five nights and by '75 we had formed a group with Gordon on banjo and Terry Patton on bass.

John Loyd at Shawnee Talent kept us busy and we were surely having fun playing this music we loved. Kenny Mathis came to see us and said he thought he could add something to our sound. We welcomed his enthusiasm, fingerpicking style and harmony.

On Kenny's first gig with us we were on I-57 south down in Southern Illinois when the lanes got congested, came to a crawl, then stopped. I got out of the car to ask another motorist what the reason could be for the holdup. He replied, "Bluegrass music up ahead, we're going!" Needless to say the crowd was huge tha afternoon at Fern Cliff and Kenny had a dose of stage fright.

Our skills were honed entertaining and when we got into the studio for this recording we shot thru the session like a set onstage. The session didn't last long and the techniques were crude by today's standards, but, this was our beginning.........
