Every few weeks (usually once a month), Marshal Andy, Drew Smalls (his son), and Rex Mingie get together at the residence of Andy and Drew in Loudon, Tennessee for an informal fellowship and recording of music which is uploaded to YouTube. Occasionally, others join us as special guests. Below is a list of our episodes thus far. We hope you enjoy the musical offerings we have put together.
