Biography
Sheesham and Lotus met high in the Appalachian Mountains. As musicians playing for old-time dances and gatherings, they kept running in to each other in all the states of the union. Much to the joy of the people, they finally decided to band together as a duo and spread the joy of old-time music and dance.
The music is Old-time Rag-time High Steppin' Mountain music.
