The String Chickens String Band

Trina Clickner, David Russell, Mark Weeg and Fred Vieira play tunes together in and around Rochester NY as the "String Chickens". We play bluegrass, old-time, American, Scottish, Irish, and pretty much any old tune. Some newer ones, too. This is our e-roosting spot and a way to share things we like. Check out Mark's Mel Bay Book and our Noteworthy Tunes - if you like garlic, put "The Garlic Waltz" on your list of "learnin' tunes" and buy Trina's book, " A Miscellany of Garlic".

Possum's Tail is Bare - Audio File

We played impromptu hookie on April 15th, dumped the tax payment in the mail and headed to Naples to play on Erwin's deck.

Here's Dan playing "Possum's Tail is Bare" so we can learn in by playing along. Isn't Dan an amazing banjo player? You can hear the melody so clearly! We love playing with Dan - you will too!
