The Dillonaires
Old Man Jones The misadventures of a country boy trying to steal watermelons.
Henry & Polly A heard warming song about genuine love (Louise, the maternal unit wrote the lyrics)
The Catfish Song (aka The disappointments of a ten year old boy) Old time banjo and singing.
Ashes of Love An old time favorite rearranged with a verse added (Pay attention to the choreography)
Andrew, Anna Lee, and Sherman Lee took a trip to New England to attend the Folk Alliance. Musicians, record
labels, promoters, etc were everywhere. We all fell in with different groups. Andrew turns up with Jack Radcliffe. A career musician starting his own label. One thing led to the other and we were signed. The first act on his label, Wepecket Island Records.
The goal was to produce a CD that captures the music and feel of rural Mississippi. Using a guitar, banjo, fiddle, harmonica, and three part harmony goes without saying. Everything from Jimmy Rogers blues, The Carter family, Labor song, Gospel songs, Shape Note style harmony, and a few originals made it happen. The Dillonaire’s tours through New England, The Midwest, the East coast , and Canada has enabled them to accumulate a healthy fan base. Grad school, families, and children curtailed their touring, but they still do special appearances.
