About this listen

Welcome Friends, to a very special edition of the Sterner Stuff Brand Podcast. The Truth Seeker went back to his roots and met up for a Saturday evening meal with his parents Bill and Allison as well as his Uncle Paul and Aunt Jackie to discuss the nearly 3 decade story of the The Family Band. Bill and Paul grew up around music, with a father who was a banjo player, two older brothers who played accordion, and coming of age right after the explosion of rock and roll. They were inspired to set out on their own to make their mark and created a group called New Wind, a band which stood the test of time and lasted nearly 30 years as a regularly booked act from Pipersville to Phoenixville, from Reading to Doylestown, from the Dutch Cottage to Micky's Mouse; New Wind performed many gigs and had many interesting experiences. From riots involving a brawling Elvis impersonator to being escorted out of a wedding when the raucous crowd decided they wanted to beat up the band, there is no shortage of intriguing tales to be told. In between, we discuss a little family history, romance, and thoughts about music. Hang out with us friends, as we discuss our reality...and please enjoy this very special show.
