When our daughter and her husband eloped, they wanted a family party to celebrate. We cleaned out our garage at our camp in New Hampshire and asked Abbott Street String Band to play. What a perfect choice! It was just right for all of us: old folks, middle aged folks, and little folks. We all danced to their great sound. Each band member was a professional and they meshed like white lightning and maple syrup! A special shout out to yodeling, golden-voiced fiddler, Clara, and luthier, —-, whose sweet fiddle is carved with the head of a lioness! Susan B.
