I enjoyed the music to uptown Beckley's song. Is there anyway I could get a copy of the words/music? Being a Beckley native,it would be great to add to my music collection.Thank you

We were at the Woody Hawley concert last Saturday night. What a treat! We knew what to expect from Beth, but we so enjoyed your music and wanted to hear more. The harmonies were perfect. Thank you for a very enjoyable evening.

I am always amazed by your smoothe sounds. The consistency of such great performances is a quality that amazes me. From Ron Sowell's place to The Wild Bean, you guys always deliver the tight harmonies, the precise guitar-work, clever arrangments, and original songwriting. Thanks for supplying us with a true and deserved WV sound.

Hello Doug and Shelley,
It was great to hear your performance at the Wild Bean in Lewisburg. I loved the addition of Sheley's percusion. How do you get that trap set in that little carrying case? The new CD, Keepsakes is great. I have really enjoyed listening. And, I am honored that you invited me to do a couple of tunes. Keep em' coming.

Beckley song, Oh, you bring back memories of the best times in my life. Been 25+ years since I left, always a pleasant thought in my mind. Have never and will never forget you!!
Hope you keep enjoying what you do.

My wife and I were travelling through Beckley and stopped at Tamarack. We purchased your Seasons cd, and what a treat. The songs are brilliant, harmonies are rich, and Shelly's vocals took our breath away. Keep up the good work!

Patricia "Trish" Ansley

September 28, 2007

The first time I heard you, Doug, I fell in love. Oh, not like that!!! Your words and your voice took me back to the time when my grandmother's brothers gathered with her and the music went on until long after I went to sleep. Then I heard you and Shelley together and I was truly in love! You guys sound as though you have been singing together since you learned to talk. All the moments are special whenever I get a chance to hear you live. Oh wait...I will get to do just that January 5, 2008 at the Woody Hawley Concert at the Clay Center in Charleston when you open for Bill Stains at 7:30 pm. Until then, I guess I will have to be content with CDs!!! By the way, the path of getting to know you guys has been such a wonderful journey and I eagerly await its further unfolding. Many blessings, Trish

Hi Doug and Shelly,
I recently past thru WV on my way home from the outer banks of N.C. What a fantastic trip! I stopped at a large gift boutique (Tammarak ) and rather randomly searched a large Folk Music Section. I can't tell you, what made me buy your cd (Seasons) other then the whimsical artwork on the front and the ‘Titles” of songs.
As I drove on, I listened with full heart to you and Shelly, I seemed to thirst for more of your songs, the lyrics & melodic music are vignettes as I gain warmth from your songs.
The song which continually paints the palette of beauty is, “Wolves of Winter”. It plays on in my spirit. As a writer myself, I can certainly appreciate the lilting acoustic you bring to me.
“I’ll toast to the love of mine”…..
With a kindred spirit

Went to WWHS class of 52. There was an Oliver Harper who attended at the same time. Could this have been your Grandfather or Dad. I now live in Statesville,NC and still work radio which I have done since 1960. I work at wpir Radio..www.joyfm.org. I enjoyed your site and your music samples.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for singing for the Red Cross at Mercer Mall in Princeton. You guys were wonderful. Everyone was really impressed by your songs as well as the quality of the music. I can't thank you enough. Keep up the great work and know that you have helped a lot of people with your music. Great job!!!!!!!!!!

Your dad and mom were high school classmates of ours. Bet your dad has some good stories about the twins, Tut and Pat Peery. (I'm the other half of Pat)
Also might have some stories about Pat's dad, Mr. Peery, who taught at Jr. Hi, and Beckley College.
Mighty nice job you two are doing.
Thanks for sharing...

Loved the song about Beckley. I was raised in Prosperity and Elizabeth was raised in Calloway Heights, WV. Oliver Harper was probably in or near my High School class at Woodrow Wilson High School, Beckley, class of 51. It sure brought back lots of memories.

I am a good friend of Larry's. I loved the song about Beckley, I have been in CA for 40 years, but my soul is in the mountains and the song made me very homesick for the "way it was", not the way it is. Still, I love the mountains.

I am a Floridian, formerly from Beckley, and love your song about the "old" Beckley when we had an "uptown." Thanks for sharing.

Was sent your "memory Lane" song on line and loved it! What a thrill it was to actually go down that lane again. I'd forgotten some of those places. Who was your guide? Your voices are beautiful together and solo. Am going to order CD Seasons. Have really enjoyed the web site. By the way, your grandfather, Oliver Harper was my teacher! Would love to see you down here in FL.

Barbara Kasey Smith

I loved the harmony in your voices - made me think about singing years ago in Crab Orchard, W.Va. I think you photos are great and your Internet Site is a good place to sit and enjoy for awhile. Keep making those good country sounds, it mellows the heart.

Caught you guys on FolkAlley.com. You folk are AWESOME. Bring your act up to Cleveland, Ohio. I'll do my part by rating "5's" and helping compile votes, as I'm sure you'll be in the running for one of their monthly contests. Love your sound.
