This year Fralinger String Band presents
“Fralinger’s Feudin’, Fussin’ and a Fightin’”
Our Hillbillies are free and untrammeled citizens of mountain pastures. They work at the local sawmill and await the ramshackled moonshine train that delivers their liquid energy as each day passes. The feudin’ clans are the stubborn Hatfields and the poised McCoys and they have no means to speak of, dress as they can and fuss and fight with the best of them. Grandma and Grandpa try to keep the boys in check yet the moonshine puts the fire in their belly and their feet can’t help stomping around on the ground.
Happy New Year 2010! Many thanks to our extended family and friends for supporting us throughout the year!
