Details:
Junior, Roland and Lyman Van Durham, or "the Van Durham boys," as they''re known here in their hometown back in Tennessee, have been making music together for longer than most of us can remember. (Some folk say Lyman was born with a harmonica in his mouth.) During the 40-odd years they''ve been playing, all the way up until now, nobody''s had the privilege of hearing their fine music except for us lucky locals - the boys'' own friends, family and neighbors. As everybody here knows, if you aren''t lucky enough to catch the boys striking up a tune on a neighbor''s porch, or out in the street, as they''re inclined to do any time, day or night, you can always find them on Sunday nights at the Bison Head Inn, where they''ve played regularly, like clockwork, since 1976, when their daddy died and they took over his gig. Their daddy, by the way, was Dunham Van Durham, a local legend - the finest banjo player these parts have ever seen, and a damn good guitar player to boot. The boys''ll tell you that not a day goes by when they don''t think about their daddy, and that''s why they named their band after him.
Now, while none of the boys ever had a mind to put anything to tape, a few of us got to talking one day, and we decided that it was high time the Van Durham boys'' music got heard. Especially now, with the advent of the Internet and all, we thought, "Well, this ought to be a cinch."
Well, that''s enough of my rambling. Go ahead and take a listen. See what all the fuss is about.
Take care now,
Wayne Doyle
