WHAT ABOUT US??

DAVID AND ROSELYN met in San Antonio, TX in April 1959 touring Air Force Bases throughout

the country and getting in trouble because of their interracial romance. Four children and two

grandchildren later (so far), their incredible talent has taken them to the far ends of the planet.

DAVID sings and plays acoustic guitar, both slide and straight, Lee Oscar harmonicas and a

gold antique King trumpet.

ROSELYN wails, her beautiful voice soaring while playing a guitar, a 1930’s Vega Banjo, a

1930’s Dobro Mandolin, African Finger Pianos by Lucinda Ellison, the Hugh Tracy Kalimba, an Umbira made by David or her Jamaican Morimbula (Rhumba Box).

UNPARALLED AND UNFORGETTABLE MUSIC MAGIC!!
