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.
