Ebony Hillbillies

Taking the subway from Greenwich Village uptown to record in Grand Central, I had a musical epiphany, and am happy to introduce The Ebony Hillbillies!

Happily stumbling upon their incredibly accomplished and spirited playing at the Grand Central Subway Station, Public Television Channel 13 was in the middle of an elaborate documentary they were filming.

I would have stuck aound longer, but Grand Central Terminal was calling me, not to mention I had a plane to catch!
