The Martin Family of Mill Creek in Smyth County, Virginia have a love for singing in the old-time unaccompanied, close harmony style that only a family can create. Mabel Martin and her seven daughters, Peggy, Helen, Eula, Jean, Elaine, Debbie, and Tammy filled their home and community with song. In 1999 they went into the studio and made a recording, just for the family, as a way of preserving the music their mother had spent a lifetime sharing. And on January 18, 2024 Elaine and son Bryan Martin and Doug Pote spent a couple hours in the studio sharing those recording and family stories with me. This is a very special show and we hope you'll enjoy listening.
