JALOPY!!!!

by Nora Jane Struthers in 1950's, Vintage Fashion Blog



Dear Friends,

One of the highlights of the tour was our home-coming show at New York’s newest bestest music venue, Jalopy located in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
On the bill with us was the fantastic performer, Micheal Daves–he owned the stage and rocked the mic and I’m not kidding you brother!  Micheal was kind enough to get me up to sing harmony with him on the Louvin Brothers classic “If I could Only Win Your Love”. 
The guys, Ben and Grant, played great, the sound was great, and the crowd was great!  Thanks to everyone who came out!
I wore my favorite 50’s paisley-print skirt with a black tank and a big brown woven belt.  I mean hey, When amongst hippsters…
Thanks for reading friends.
Sincerely,

An Ocean of Plaid

by Nora Jane Struthers in Uncategorized






Dear Friends,

On this past tour, I brought my band to The Albert Music Music Hall in Waretown, NJ and what a show it was!  
As you can see, plaid is the new black.  I brought this sweet green and pink plaid early 1950’s number in West Virginia on my way back from The Purple Fiddle.  Only $15 big ones and it fits like a dream!
Ben and Grant followed suit–I think we look snazzy.
Thanks for reading friends.
Sincerely,

Summer 09 Tour: Episode 1– The Van

by Nora Jane Struthers in News




Dear Friends,

I am on tour!  My very first tour!  I want to cheers the Honda car company:
Cheers!  My Honda Odyssey mini van is serving us well on the road.  We fit an upright bass, two mandolins, a guitar, a fiddle, and all of our stuff into this beaut and we still have room for the band!  I particularly appreciate the disappearing back seat.  
We started in Knoxville, TN playing WDVX’s Blue Plate Special radio show hosted by the one and only metro-billy, Matt Morlock.  That night we shared the bill with The Hankensaw Boy’s at Barley’s Taproom.  It was great fun.
Many video’s to come…
Thanks for reading friends.
Sincerely,
Nora Jane
