I have followed the Dixie Chicks since shortly after they formed as the original four Chicks in the early 90s. They were not political until they hooked up with Natalie's big mouth.

Both the sisters are classically-trained musicians. Emily actually rescued the banjo from its "Deliverance" days and made it a respectable instrument.

Back in the good old days, before Natalie, there was nothing sweeter than the Dixie Chicks 3 to 4 part harmonies.

Bela Fleck rescued the banjo from that fate.

One of the best banjo players was Wendy Holcombe of AL. She died way too young. She was very young when she started playing. I started thinking about her last year but could not remember her name. I found her name recently on a site about banjo players from the state.
