Brian Symonds

Brian plays the autoharp and electric bass. He grew up in Kendall, NY, near Rochester. At age 19, he started playing bass and singing in the Orleans County country-western bars. As a hobby, he buys autoharps, fixes them up and sells them on eBay. He's a tour guide at Myakka River State Park in Florida. Beginning autoharp lessons are available.

Carolyn Dunn

Carolyn plays the electric bass. She grew up in Hilton, NY, near Rochester. At age 8, she started playing guitar and performing on stage. She played in many of the bars and clubs in Rochester, and has recently moved to Florida. She's also a computer programmer, and designs websites.

Jim Dunn

He was born in 1923 as the eighth child to a poor tenant sharecropper family. As a boy he picked cotton for 18 hours a day in the Adirondacks of Northern New York state. When he was 6 he learned to play the geetar and at age 7 he started supporting his family by singing country blues songs that my grandpappy taught me.

During the depression, he sang and played each evening at the "Chestertown Pool and Whiskey House" for a saltine and a drink of lemonade. In 1948, he was on "The Ted Mack Talent Hour" and placed second. In 1975, he met a young lady named Carolyn that played bass guitar, of course, the rest is history!
