Ditch Lilies
There is a mystical detour along the road of American Roots Music, right before genres had drawn lines in the sand proclaiming this to be "bluegrass" or that to be "honky-tonk". The lines were imposed during the advance of technology with the likes of 78 record players and radio coming into fashion. It was a great melting pot of swing, blues, jazz, and old-time country where all manner of musicians would simply play popular music, seemingly without apology or without being hemmed in by commercial restriction. You would hear rural outfits playing their own version of jazz or polished urban swing bands performing rustic mountain music. County by county, region by region, state by state, music would adapt, shift and morph to take on the fabric of its surroundings.

( from Lil' Rev's site ) I was born and bred in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with dual passions for music and education. I opted for the pragmatic route and earned a Bachelors Degree in Community Education from the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. After college, I split my time as an educator between teaching music to grade schoolers at the Milwaukee Jewish Day School, and as an adjunct music historian and lecturer at The University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.
His heroes include: Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Josh White, Sonny Terry, Cicso Houston and Leadbelly.

Shaun Swanson
I’ve been creating digital graphics since 1998. I’ve done work in every type of digital media, but my main interest has always been 3D illustration. My favorite style is goofy characters like the frogs here, but I’ve done more technical projects as well. I currently work as a graphic artist and 3D illustrator for Directions Marketing in Neenah, WI. I occasionally take on freelance work.
String Swing
Musical instruments are works of art that give voice to our joy, passion, craft, and soul. We pick up a musical instrument and instantly have a way to reach other people, to stir emotion, and to challenge ourselves. Musical instruments are works of art—that are intended to be used, not kept in a case.
Todd Korup, the Uker of OZ
Well let's see. First and foremost I am a husband and father of 3 awesome kids. I love music, art, classic designs and building things. I love things made of fine wood and metal including classic cars, old buildings, old tools and machines, longboard skateboards and of coarse.instruments. The art of luthier has brought all those things together in a very rewarding way.
Uke-A-Palooza
A Uke-A-Palooza is a reunion, a revival, an extravaganza to bring together people that have an interest in playing, owning or learning about ukuleles. In reality, it is about people that want to laugh, sing, listen, strum a little, lose their inhibitions and share some time with uke minded people.
