MTE, thanks for inviting me to be a part of this very interesting and fun experiment.

Please don't forget the early success of Robinella & the CC Stringband. These talented folks opened for Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson, they performed on late-night comedy talk shows. They (and now Robin Tipton) have/has a long-standing Sunday night engagement at Barley's. They were very popular and Knoxville's darlings for the longest time. While Robin's daddy's little girl song makes me cringe, the band has many terrific original songs, and I admire that this band took chances (going electric). Robin's voice is such an interesting mix of a sweet honeyed southern twang with jazz timing. It's hard to stay away from her vocal allure. This band was also family friendly and had many fans of all ages.
