On May 2, 2003 Chris Kleeman and Bob Stannard opened for nationally acclaimed Blues/Folk Artist, Chris Smither at the Dorset Playhouse

Smither was born in New Orleans and his roots clearly shows in his music.  A fabulous foot-stompin' musician with a great voice.  Plus, like many musicians we've met who have been on the road since 1966, a real good guy!

And after the show a few friends were treated to a little impromptu music.  Keyboardist, Chris Burns, just couldn't keep his hands off the late Eugene List's 100 year old Steinway.  I told him that if he kept playing I might be forced to go back and get my harps.  He said, "Get 'em" and the rest is history.  We were joined by guitarist, Mighty Mike Shermer and then the lady herself.

On August 2, 2003, we opened for Blues Legend, BUDDY GUY

Joey Molland of British famed Rock Band, BADFINGER, with Bob after a show in Boston in September, '03.

"It was a real thrill to be able to meet and play with Joey Molland after listening to his music for half my life!  He's a gracious and decent human being." - Bob Stannard
