Whether it's his art or his music, Kevin always brings a playfulness to his style. Kevin has been doing artwork for our recordings since 1979. Kevin is also a wonderful fiddler. - Joe Herrmann

When I go to the Herrmann's house up Critton Owl Hollow Road near Paw Paw West Virginia It vibrates amongst the trees in the breeze I begin to hear notes emamanating ing from The warm house from the outdoors where I'm making yellow snow...

The more people inside join in the frolic of old time fiddle banjo mandolin and guitar the more the house begins to sway...

Music in the living room music in the kitchen and parlor I stand in between in the hallway between to hear stereo or to decide which side to stay on...

Whoah Then Mr Schatz puts the back bone in with his addition of bass notes...

It takes off and I miss spell my name in the yellow snow but I keep listening...

Sam Herrmann's hammered dulcimer is the first thiing I hear as I return to the warm aromatic orchistrated interior My jaw drops open and my whole body smiles...

I grab my hand hewn fiddle to add my few notes on into the morning hours.
