Checkout this new song from my good friend Chuck Roehm!

I knew a beautiful East-West valley in Western Kentucky that I really loved. Wonderful bottom land 110 acre farm, a year 'round stream with small mountains on the north and wooded hardwood forest on the south. It was so quiet, a really magical place. Hope you can close your eyes and visualize it wit...

The Infidel Castros with "Black Sky" (Ann Phillips) from their album "Strange Enchanted". This was a self-released album by the Castro family (parents Ann and Joe and their daughter Daisy) featuring Joe Castro on guitar, banjo, percussion; Ann Castro on vocals, and occasionally guitar or cello; and Daisy on violin, cello, and harmony vocals. Daisy was 14 at the time this was recorded (2011).
I had the pleasure of meeting them when I was guest lecturing to a group of young musicians at The Strathmore in Rockville, Maryland. You can find a lot of Daisy's music online and YouTube. She is a very talented young woman who plays primarily gypsy jazz and is well known in that genre.

“We won’t stop until we’re underneath a black sky.”

"I have never met Napoleon
But I plan to find the time
'Cause he looks so fine upon that hill
They tell me he was lonely, he's lonely still
Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago, oh yeah"
