I have another love. One I have loved my whole life long. MUSIC! You see, my Mother's family were very musical. All the guys played an instrument and all the girls sang. Mom sang on the radio before she was a teenager. I used to sit on my grandmother's front steps and sing "Roses are Red" (made famous by Bobby Vinton if I recall)
So, a couple of weeks ago some friends from church told me that they would be performing at a coffee shop in Guntersville, AL. Lucky me, it was a weekend that I could go and hear them.
These friends are four young ladies and their Mom, Michelle. As a group they are known as The Mohr4 (how is that? well, Mom isn't counted!) Three of the girls play violin/fiddle. The fourth and youngest, switched to cello about a year ago.
My opinion: they are awesome. They played, reels, aires, hornpipes, marches, and more plus they sang. They advertise as Celtic Fiddlers. Michelle (mom) accompanies them as needed on piano and/or penny whistle.
So here are some pics of the girls that I took in their front yard back in May. I forgot my camera last night. After the pictures I will post links to their website and youtube videos.
