very true, the intro fits with some acts more than others. we'd create a new one per video, but this is a free effort by everyone involved, so we need to maximize our efforts. plus, the intro runs before films at the local cinema, so it helps people recognize our work.

Having shot Rhiannon when she performed with the Chocoloate Drops at Pickin' in the Pines in Flagstaff, AZ a couple of years ago, it's a real treat to see this video. To see that she has a sister, and how good they sound together! To see the excellent videography and editing! To see this concept. Sounds like a win-win to me! How's it working out?

@Joannawysiwyg sorry for the delay in responding. the project is rolling along w/ over 50 artists documented. now we're working on getting a fiscal sponsor to go legit.

Rhiannon should play the role of Lena Horne...when they do her life story!

Don't you think? I think Rhiannon could totally pull it off!!

Simplicity--down to the marrow--brings joy. It's exalting and mesmerizing!

Family singing between sisters, brothers and all the permutations in family singing are deeply moving. A fine post and may these sisters do more toghether soon.

Wow, its good to just hear the sweet sound of the voices so the meaning of the words can seep into the soul- I know it would also sound good with instruments as well but this is really good, it is without pretense (and running riffs) they just sing the song in purity- inspiring!
