1999 marks Paul & Win's 24th year of playing music together along with their 23rd year of marriage. During their years of courtship and the early years of marriage, their main entertainment was to make beautiful music together! The word began to get out in central Missouri about their music, and they began to be asked to perform--sometimes even getting paid! In 1980 they went to Colorado on vacation (actually, to escape the heat wave!), and found themselves being asked to perform so often that they arrived home from vacation with more money than they had when they left! They began to tour regionally, and by 1986, they were touring nationally and into Canada.

In 1986, they took the great leap: quit their part-time jobs and became full-time professional musicians. They have performed at major festivals all over the U.S. and in Canada, including a 1995 appearance at the Roots of American Music Festival at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City. To date, they have released five albums of their music (See Albums.) along with appearing as guest artists on numerous other recordings.
