Her mother and father were on the road singing when Gina was quite young and Gina still sings with her mother to this day.	Ray Burns Ray Burns began singing (hollering) before he entered elementary school. He was often observed singing while riding his bicycle and carrying an old time AM/FM Cassette player under one arm. At that early age, he didn’t seem to grasp the difference between a note and a scream and seemed destined for some kind of heavy metal garage band. However, with strategically timed intervention, he developed some singing ability via the musical guidance from the choir leader of the "Angelites," Ron Burley Sr
Chris Rininger Chris Rininger was born in a small town to a family of cave-dwelling goat-herders. It was in those early years that he honed his skills in animal husbandry and singing. It turns out that his goats were a particularly restless tribe and, to sooth them, Chris discovered that he could lull them into a more sedate and milk producing mental state by singing to them. To his surprise some goats were moved by a soft, classical kind of music while others preferred country and still others a hard rock wit	Valerie Markell Gallagher Valerie Markell Gallagher is a gifted vocalist, songwriter and guitarist. With an Indie/folk style that is often laced with symbolic themes, she creates a rich and passionate emotional tapestry through her evocative and powerful velvet voice. The love of music and the music of love has woven itself through the very life of this song-stress who has been singing for most of her life. A Northwest Native, Val makes her home on the Kitsap Peninsula in Washington.	Dennis O'Hanlon Dennis O'Hanlon plays bass, acoustic and electric guitars, sings, arranges, and makes a killer cheese cake. Image shows Bonnie, his better half, too.
