Recipes and road stories

the long version

"In recent years especially, the bluegrass world has been a welcoming one for talented youngsters, and that's certainly a good description of Hannah and Caroline Melby. With "Recipes And Road Stories," the gals return the favor, giving outsiders a glimpse into the lives of young musicians learning the art and business of bluegrass and its close musical relatives. They share some funny tales of life in a traveling band, along with some heartwarming ones, too--and more than a few that are both. I look forward to hearing more from their new venture, HanaLena, and after reading this collection--and maybe trying out some of the recipes--I'm sure that you will, too."--Jon Weisberger, IBMA Songwriter of the Year (2012)--Back cover.
