To our fans who have been asking “have you got a new CD?” Here it is!!

To those who don’t know The Sadie Green Sales Jugband, we are

Timothy Walker and David Driskell,

Described as an extraordinary vaudeville style musical act performing Classic Rags and Traditional Jazz along with crazy versions of authentic Jug Band Music.”

Since 1975 The SADIE GREEN SALES JUGBAND has been touring Europe as well as the United States and Canada. Venues have included Bethlehem Musicfest, Hershey Park, Knoebel’s Groves Amusement Park, WPSX TV, Godfrey Daniel’s Coffee House, and many County Fairs and Craft Shows. The Band performed at the Philadelphia Folk Festival in 1998 and 2000. We were invited to entertain at the 1995, 1999 and the 2000 Kerrville Folk Festivals in Texas.

Last April/May (2004), we went on a tour of Southern England and performed twenty-eight gigs in five weeks including sixteen performances in Primary schools.

This CD brings “The Jugband” recorded repertoire up to date! Some of “Sadie’s” most requested songs were done some time ago on vinyl. We have gone back into the studio to perform them anew and feel the results are spectacular.

Just a couple of notes. The two original Jugband style tunes were inspired by school shows and residencies sponsored by the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts.

“Tioga Morning” reflects the good life in North Central Pennsylvania. We could not resist the chance to re-record “The Interstate is Coming Through My Outhouse” with a new verse and ending. The rest of the CD pretty much speaks for itself.

Enjoy!!!

Thanks!

Especially to George Higginbotham for the grueling recording session where he laid down all his bass tracks in one afternoon. Thanks also to Debbie and Bob Rubin at Whitneyville Recording for their encouragement, patience and effort to achieve the best possible sound on this recording.
