Progressive bluegrass band that dates back to 4th
July 1957. The original lineup
included John Duffey (Mandolin), Bill Emerson
(Banjo), Larry Lahey (Bass) and Charlie Waller (Guitar). Shortly thereafter, Eddie Adcock supplanted
Emerson on banjo and Tom Gray replaced Larry Lahey
on bass. This was more or less
their "permanent" lineup although it has obviously changed
several times throughout their 50-year career. Randy Waller took over the outfit
after his father Charlie passed away in 2004. They were inducted into the
International Bluegrass Music Hall of Honor in 1996 and continue to perform
to this day.
