The
Druckenmillers Probably the best family folk band in
the greater Lehigh Valley, and even further, these people will
take you back to the "good old days." Picture yourself
on your neighbors back porch, or the annual church picnic, or that
old time festival you heard so much about. Listen to all those strings
played with different tones, in different styles, and on different
instruments. Join Tom, Betty and Nathan for some family fun.
