My wife and I have lived off-the-grid for almost 20 years now. We heat with wood from our own property, most of our power comes from SOLAR and WIND....Talk about GREEN!! More folks should try it!! It really isn't that difficult, people.....

Can you imagine waking up to sunrises like this each morning? This photo was taken on Christmas Day. We truely do live in GOD'S COUNTRY.....

Or, imagine looking out on this kind of beauty each and EVERY day...

After all of these years, I STILL never get tired of just looking....talk about EYE CANDY!!
We play music with our friends for enjoyment, Including some annual events in the area. I just took-over the Producer position of the Mountain Music Festival, which happens on the 1st Saturday of August each year.
Mountain Music Festival
Our band (Half-way There) has been playing at the event since it began in 2000. Check the link above to get more details.....
**The LIVE WEBCAST of this event will be on the main viewer at the top of this page.
And if you would like to see what some of the LIVE music is like around our town, look here...
LIVE IN REPUBLIC
...and be sure your audio is up a bit. It starts right out with the 'Northern Underground' band, featuring Keith Fletcher on banjo....
We also play regular paid Gigs, so keep us in mind if you are having a party or some other gathering, where our music would add to the ambiance. The band's email address is located on the band web site, located at the bottom of this page.
Sometimes, at the Blues Fests and Barter Faires, Scott (good friend) and I get to jam with the HEADLINERS!!! Talk about FUN!!!

We wouldn't be anywhere else...
We truely live 'the dream' here......
We have the most AWSOME friends!
