THE SPARROWSES

(Greene County, IN) Folks have always had a song to sing. Hard-working people throughout history have always carried a song or two with them along the way, just to help them get by with the mountains of trouble they’ll be scrambling over, as well as to help remind them of some of the sweeter creeks and rivers they’ll be floating down in their lives. The Sparrow family writes, sings, plays, works, and lives just the same as any other family does, that is, the best way they know how. Their songs reflect the complications and consternations of love, work, children, life and death in a plainspoken way, and also take in hand the silver lining of hardship and the overwhelming reaction that real love can cause in a person’s life. These everyday trials that affect all people, be they rich, poor, black, white, brown, here, there, or anywhere, are all laid out in a simple fashion for us to try and get a hold of, to try and understand. Every person has a song, it just takes someone to sing it. That’s what The Sparrowses do best.
