Old-time folk music for kids with husband and wife duo WB Reid and Bonnie Zahnow. Their sweet harmonies on songs range from poignant to humorous twin-fiddling, foot-tapping tunes.
WB & Bonnie, grandparents now, have been making music with and for children since their own kids were babies. Back home in Seattle, they work with school kids twice a week, and play regularly for family dances, sometimes including students in the band. As a duo and in a number of bands over the decades, they've played a variety of music for contra and square dances from coast to coast and border to border. Their sweet harmonies on songs range from poignant to humorous twin-fiddling, foot-tapping tunes.

ABOUT BERKELEY OLD-TIME MUSIC CONVENTION
The Berkeley Old Time Music Convention is a five-day music festival featuring performances by local and national acts, a rollicking square dance, open cabaret, and the illustrious stringband contest, in venues throughout Berkeley.
The first stringband contest was held in Provo Park in 1968. It was called the 35th Annual. The following year the 17th Annual was held and 22nd Annual the year after that. These contests were put on by a loose-knit group of volunteers, musicians organizing a good time for themselves, other musicians and the public.
